Sportsworld

Available for over a year

Paralympic champion Terezinha Guilhermina expects 'party' atmosphere at Rio Olympics, insisting although it's "hard to measure the attitude of Brazil, one thing is sure, sport is where we don't find prejudice for disabled people". Guilhermina who is a visually impaired sprinter who runs with a sighted guide, had the chance to run with the fastest man in the world Usain Bolt earlier this year. Please note Guilhermina's interview has been translated and her answers voiced in English. Photo Credit:Matthew Stockman/Getty Images.
