Seven-time Paralympic gold medallist Hannah Cockroft explains how her disability didn鈥檛 stop her from achieving success.

Speaking to 5 Live鈥檚 Adrian Chiles, she said: 鈥淲hen you are born with a disability, you are told more often what you can鈥檛 do rather than what you can.鈥�

鈥淲heelchair racing was my way of proving I can do sport; I can do anything that I want to do.鈥�

She went on to say that she 鈥渘ever set out to be a Paralympic champion鈥�.

鈥淚t鈥檚 interesting how hard I can push my body, this girl that was told she would never really do much with her life. I just keep pushing the boundary to see what the finish line actually is鈥�, she added.
