In Touch

Available for over a year

We speak to David Blunkett about his opening ceremony experience . We do a roundup of the results and highlights of visually impaired athletes and opera singer Denise Leigh talks about her performance during the ceremony. We also talk to men and women from the goalball team, a sport devised specifically for visually impaired athletes about their experience and explore the irony that the game created for blind players is offering no audio description for blind spectators.
