The 50th Winter Paralympic Games

In Touch reflects on the Winter Paralympics 2026, with some of the athletes who competed and ParalympicsGB's Chef de Mission.

In Touch reflects in the Milano Cortina Winter Paralympic Games. Although the GB team did not return home flush with medals, ParalympicsGB are taking these games as a win in terms of some stand-out performances and future stars. In Touch digs into the visually impaired team's overall performance, how the sighted guiding works when plummeting down a mountain at speeds of 100mph and above and the experiences of the debutant athletes. Guests include six-time medal winning alpine skier Menna Fitzpatrick, debutants Hester Poole and Fred Warburton, ParalympicsGB Chef de Mission Phil Smith and Âé¶¹Éç commentator and reporter Ed Harry.

Above Peter's head is the Âé¶¹Éç logo (three separate white squares house each of the three letters). Bottom centre and overlaying the image are the words "In Touch" and the Radio 4 logo (the word ‘radio’ in a bold white font, with the number 4 inside of a white circle). The background is a bright mid-blue with two rectangles angled diagonally to the right. Both are behind Peter, one is a darker blue and the other is a lighter blue.
