Commonwealth Games Athlete

Available for over a year

Eighteen year old Samantha Kinghorn was partially paralysed four years ago in an accident on the family farm. As part of her rehabilitation, she took up wheelchair racing. Now she's preparing to represent Scotland in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Sybil Ruscoe meets her and her family on the farm in the Scottish borders. She hears how life has changed since the accident, and discovers that Sam still works on the farm, combining shifts in the lambing shed with her athletic training schedule. Sam also demonstrates the training equipment she uses, built by her father using bits of old combine harvester!
