All right, we are back.

The 2024 Summer Paralympic Games really broke the record for Paralympics viewership.

How has that affected the way that you've been thinking about your games leading up to this year?

Yeah, speaking of which, for the folks who will undoubtedly fall in love with sled hockey watching the Paralympic Games this year, where can they see y'all play or other teams like yours play in their own communities?

All right.

So what Paralympic winter sports are you going to be excited to watch, obviously aside from the other sled hockey games?

Wow.

When you're not being a Paralympic star, what do you do in your downtime or your work?

Yeah, this has come up quite a bit over the years when we cover the Olympics from an economics perspective.

It's just the financial strain on athletes because you have to give so much of your time to the sports.

What are some of the economic considerations for you and the other Paralympians heading into the Winter Games?

Well, go Team USA.

Thank you so much, Declan Farmer, Paralympic gold medalist in sled hockey.

Can't wait to watch your games.

And thanks again.

We are going to have lots of resources where you can watch the games and support Team USA in our show notes.

But that is it for us today.

Let us know if you're planning to tune into the Winter Paralympics this year, what events you're going to be watching.

You can leave us a voicemail at 508-UBSmart or email us at makemesmart at marketplace.org.
