Today In Rio

Available for over a year

Marieke Vervoort, who won a silver medal at the Rio 2016 Paralympics, says she signed euthanasia papers in 2008 because of the relentless pain of living with an incurable and degenerative spinal condition; however, she has no plans to go ahead with the action yet. Vervoot began by telling the Âé¶¹Éç's Mani Djazmi of the day to day struggled she has to contend with. Picture: Marieke Vervoort. Credit: Getty Images.
