Brazil's blind sprinting legend

Available for over a year

Brazil’s Terezinha Guilhermina is one of the world’s fastest blind sprinters, with three Paralympic gold medals in the 100m and 200m T11 sprints. Growing up in grinding poverty, Guilhermina always dreamed of taking part in athletics but had no shoes to wear until her sister – who worked as a maid – lent her a pair. Guilhermina shares her life story with Dan Hardoon. The programme is a Whistledown Production. PHOTO: Terezinha Guilhermina with her guide at the 2012 London Olympics (Getty Images)
