We're catching him before he heads to Milan.

Declan, welcome to the show.

Declan, thank you so much for making time for us in between your practices for the Paralympics.

I know you're getting ready to head over.

For those who aren't familiar with the sport, what is sled hockey?

When did you start playing sled hockey?

Talk about your journey to be a Paralympian.

Who is Team USA's biggest rival heading into the games in Milan?

Talk a little bit about the rest of the team, Team USA for the sled hockey team.

All right, we need to take a quick break, but we're going to be right back with Paralympian Declan Farmer.

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.
