Gaz Choudhry: From basketballer to Broadway

Available for over a year

Great Britain's Gaz Choudhry is no stranger putting on a show having represented Great Britain at three Paralympic Games. Now, instead of performing on the wheelchair basketball court, he's been performing on a New York stage. Choudhry - who won bronze at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 - was cast in a play that told the story of the Grenfell Fire that killed 72 residents of a tower block in London seven years ago. He told Sportshour's Shabnam Younus-Jewell how he came to swap the basketball court for the theatre stage. Photo: Gaz Choudhry in his player-coach role during the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
