Double Paralympic champion Ezra Frech calls for LA2028 rethink

Available for over a year

Ezra Frech tells Lee James why he's calling on the International Paralympic Committee and World Para Athletics not to scrap the T63 long jump - one of his best events - from the LA2028 program. He’s already a double Paralympic champion and his hopes of completing a “triple crown” at his hometown games in Los Angeles are under threat due to the IPC’s plans to remove one of his events. Head of WPA, Paul Fitzgerald, says dropping the event is not a decision they've taken lightly while double Paralympic gold medallist, Richard Whitehead, and BBC Sport's athletics commentator, Ed Harry, discuss how athletes will be affected by the news.
