Paralympic Perceptions
A project inspired by the 2012 Olympic Games
Description:
Students at Loughborough University conducted interviews with two groups of fellow students: five elite Paralympic athletes, and seven non-sporting students.
The interviews focus on two themes: health, sport and well being, and young athlete's aspirations on Olympics and Paralympics. The interviews also explore what Loughborough has brought to students' sporting experience.
The project was overseen by Loughborough University Library (http://www.lboro.ac.uk/library) in collaboration with the University’s Centre for Olympic Studies & Research (http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/ssehs/research/social-sciences-and-sport/olympic-studies)
