Children are the focus after Paris Paralympics

I said at the start of the Paralympics that I thought it would be a competition to remember for all the right reasons.

I'm glad to say that my prediction was correct.

During the past 11 days, we have seen some truly historic sporting moments: wheelchair racer Hannah Cockroft bringing her gold medal tally to nine; boccia athlete Stephen McGuire winning his first ever Paralympic medal - a shiny gold one - after 20 years of near-misses and then there is 14 year-old table tennis star Bly Twomey.

It was a pleasure to interview the great Sarah Storey who claimed her NINETEENTH Paralympics gold medal

I was lucky enough to see Bly walking around ParalympicsGB House with her family.

She had two bronze medals hanging from her neck and I remember thinking that everyone else her age is at school right now, yet here she is on the biggest stage, with two medals and she doesn't seem one bit phased or overwhelmed.

Paralympics GB smashed all expectations in Paris.

Finishing second in the medals table is MASSIVE.

A huge congratulations to all the athlete's and everyone involved.

In terms of sport, the future is looking very bright and I am excited to see what kind of Paralympic Games we will see in Los Angeles in four years' time.

Never give up on your dreams ... Stephen McGuire won his first Paralympics medal after 20 years of just missing out - and it was a gold

The legacy and what it means for young people

Today, ParalympicsGB announced that they are sending an open letter to UK prime minister Sir Keir Starmer, asking for equal access to school sport for disabled children.

Whenever a Paralympic Games takes place, we hear the word 'legacy' quite a lot. When people say it, they are wondering what impact an event can have on a place or person's life in the future.

The Paralympic Games isn't just about a major sporting event every four years.

The aim is to improve the daily lives of disabled people around the globe and to make sure we are all doing our bit to gain a better understanding of equality and inclusion.

During the Games, ParalympicsGB launched a campaign called Equal Play.

Only one in four kids with a disability are able to participate fully in sport or PE at school.

Equal Play has been brought in to change that and make sport more inclusive for everyone, no matter the obstacles.

Paris really did deliver 'a games to remember' and I will cherish the memories forever.

However, the hard work starts now.

We need to see disabled athletes competing on our screens more often, not just every four years.

We need to use the power of sport to improve the lives of people with disabilities every day and, of course, we want to see everyone participating in sport during school time ... disabled or not!

So it's over to you, prime minister.
