	Description:		Matthew Layton presents Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view. On this week’s show… Australian Paralympic medallist Sam Rickard Growing up, Sam was just a normal geeky kid with a vision impairment. But at the age of fifteen he discovered he was quite good at running. So much so, that at the age of sixteen, he found himself in Seoul in a Paralympic final. Sam went on to represent Australia at four successive Paralympic Games, winning a bronze medal in Barcelona in 1992. The conversation covers topics including the acoustics at Paralympic opening ceremonies, athletes who drink beer and wheelchair basketball -- CALL or TEXT: 04 500 78834 EMAIL: studio1@visionaustralia.org TWITTER: http://twitter.com/varadionetwork and http://twitter.com/whingeingpom -- GUESTS AND RESOURCES Tammey Candeloro - Counselling 4 You WA https://www.counselling4youwa.com.au/ - 0423 93 15 74 [PHOTO CAPTION: Paralympic medalist Sam Rickard running at full pelt coming out of a curve in a Paralympic final] -- Vision Australia gratefully acknowledges the support of the Community Broadcasting Foundation for Studio 1.
