September 1st 2024.
Exciting news! Ade Adepitan, a well-known TV presenter, is returning to our screens for the highly anticipated Paralympic Games. And he's not the only one. Channel 4 has put together an impressive lineup of presenters, pundits, and commentators for their coverage of the 2024 Paralympics in Paris.
It's been a summer full of thrilling sports events, from the European Championship to the Olympic Games, bringing both triumph and heartbreak. But the excitement isn't over yet. With over 1,300 hours of live sport to be broadcast on Channel 4, More 4, and their YouTube channels over the 11 days of action, there's still more to come.
Leading the way is the legendary Ellie Simmonds, a Paralympic medalist with eight wins under her belt. And this time, she's not competing, but making her debut as a presenter. She'll be joined by a talented and diverse team, all ready to guide us through every moment of the Games.
One familiar face is Clare Balding, a seasoned broadcaster who has already presented other major sporting events such as Wimbledon and the Olympics this year. Another is Billy Monger, a former racer who lost both his legs in a terrible crash in 2017. Since then, he has become a pundit for Channel 4's Formula 1 coverage.
Making history is Rose Ayling-Ellis, the first deaf presenter to cover the Paralympics. She's no stranger to the spotlight, having won the popular TV show Strictly Come Dancing in 2021 and being an actress on EastEnders. JJ Chalmers, a former Royal Marine who suffered severe injuries in Afghanistan, will also be lending his expertise as a presenter. He's come a long way since then, winning three medals in the Invictus Games and hosting various TV shows.
And of course, we can't forget about Ade Adepitan, one of the first physically disabled presenters in the UK. He rose to fame after winning a bronze medal with Team GB in wheelchair basketball at the Athens Games in 2004. Another legendary Paralympian joining the team is Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, who has an incredible 16 Paralympic medals to her name and was the first female wheelchair user to present on TV.
Dame Sarah Storey, with an impressive 28 Paralympic medals, is also on board as a pundit. She's no stranger to the Games, having competed in nine Paralympic Games and holding 17 gold medals. And let's not forget about the amazing team of commentators, who will be bringing us all the live action from the Games.
With such a talented and diverse team, we can't wait to see what Channel 4 has in store for us during the Paralympics. Get ready for an unforgettable 11 days of sports and inspiring stories.
