Triumph of the Human Spirit
Television (Full Length) – 1996
It’s great satisfaction. I mean its hard work along the way. You have to put in a lot of effort, a lot of hard work, and it’s paid off. Gold medal. World record. Can’t complain too much. Great feeling, great to have it.– Peter Martin, shot put gold medallist
It’s moving the focus away from the disability and all the problems that go with the disability to show what is the potential or ability of an individual.– Bruce Tocker, New Zealand Chef de Mission
