Dame Sophie Pascoe has called time on her career. New Zealand’s most successful Paralympian, Pascoe claimed 19 medals, including 11 golds, throughout her career as a competitive swimmer. She joined Piney to reflect on her career, and discuss how she arrived at this decision. “I think it was a pretty natural evolution for me,” Pascoe said. She said that presenting the Paralympic Games last year helped her decision, as she was still part of the team but in a different capacity. “I was right where I needed to be, which was to be a mother to my son and to be a wife and just be a family unit, but I also have the opportunity to still have a voice for the Paralympic movements and to showcase our incredible athletes.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
