In the lead up to the Milano Cortina Games, we spoke with legendary Australian para-snowboarder Ben Tudhope about his remarkable rise in the sport, which saw him become Australia’s youngest ever Paralympian and a Paralympic silver medallist. Since then, Ben has added to his incredible career at Milano Cortina, bringing home two more Paralympic medals and further cementing his status as one of Australia’s most successful and beloved Paralympians. We catch up with Ben to hear all about his experiences in Italy, why those latest medals carry a little extra weight for him, what it was like meeting the Prime Minister, and how his celebrations compared this time around, including whether there were any drunken haircuts like in his previous Paralympic exploits! It’s another fantastic chat with one of our favourite guests that you won’t want to miss!
