The road to Paralympic success with Ben Watson

Double Paralympic Champion Ben Watson and his Orthotist Ian Talbot of Pace Rehabilitation discuss Ben’s road to the Paralympics and the support provided by Ian and the team at Pace.

Interviewed by Chris Smith, Personal Injury Senior Associate at Stewarts.

In 2003, when he was 14, Ben was diagnosed with Guillain Barre syndrome. He was left with weakness in his hands and very little movement, sensation or control below his knees.

In five years, Ben went from an office job to double Paralympic Champion at the Tokyo Paralympic Games. Ben and Ian spoke about becoming a full time athlete, his orthoses and how they benefit his performance and Ben’s Paralympic success.
