The GB wheelchair basketball team trains at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield. It's one of a number of Paralympic and Olympic teams that are based in the city including boxing, Paralympic table tennis and volleyball. I went to see the wheelchair basketball players train before they headed down to London. You can hear my report below...
Just watched the team on TV playing Colombia. Very interesting to hear the background to this sport on your clip - firstly the problems team members had to overcome in everyday life after injury, and then how the sport has given them belief in themselves and camaraderie.
