Jai Waite

Today’s guest is New Zealand Paralympian number 156 - gold medal-winning Wheel Black, Jai Waite. Jai is also an internationally recognised and award-winning documentary maker. His latest is Wheel Blacks: Bodies on the Line - out this week - and it follows the Wheel Blacks as they battled to rise above declining resources to try and qualify for the 2024 Paris Paralympics. Jai became paralysed from the chest down with limited function in his arms and hands after diving into a wave and hitting a sandbar in Greece on his OE. Four years later, he would return to win a Paralympic Gold in Athens.
