Can the Rio Paralympics top London 2012?

BBC World Service - Sportsworld, Can the Rio Paralympics top London 2012?

We look ahead to the Rio Paralympics with a number of the athletes set to compete.

How will we know if the Rio Paralympics have been a success? Gold medal winning sprinter, April Holmes, plus husband and wife athletes Stef Reid and Brent Lakatos are among Sarah Mulkerrins' guests for a Sportsworld special.  

What impact do the Games need to have on Brazil as a country? And what needs to change before we see more African nations appearing in the medals table?
