EP022 | David Weir | World champion triumph over disability & depression

Jacky and Pete sit down with Paralympian David Weir, who shares the highs and lows of his illustrious career.


David recounts his proudest moments, like winning four gold medals at the London Paralympics in 2012, and reflects on his journey from a talented 13-year-old on the GB squad to becoming known as the greatest wheelchair racer of all time.


David opens up about the struggles he faced despite his success, including the crushing disappointments of unmet expectations after major wins where anticipated sponsorships never materialised. He also reveals a harrowing experience during a team race that led to accusations of sabotage, plunging him into severe depression.


Despite these challenges, David's resilience shines through. His story is not just about athletic prowess but also about overcoming mental health struggles and personal setbacks. His determination to rise above adversity and claim victory is both inspiring and instructive, offering listeners deep insights into the spirit of a true champion.
