After a near-fatal accident Jamie MoCrazy is climbing an alternative peak

BBC World Service - Sportshour, After a near-fatal accident Jamie MoCrazy is climbing an alternative peak

Jamie MoCrazy tells us how she’s rebuilt her life and become an advocate for survivors of brain injury after almost being killed in a skiing accident. 

MoCrazy was seriously injured when attempting a trick at freestyle skiing’s World Tour Finals in Canada in 2015. She has since returned to the mountain to get married and is back skiing.

Professional mixed martial artist and former footballer Aaron Aby discusses being an athlete with cystic fibrosis, exceeding medical expectations and overcoming stage 3 testicular cancer.  Aby’s parents were told he was unlikely to live beyond his teenage years but that didn’t stop him becoming a promising footballer, who played in Wales youth teams with Aaron Ramsey, before switching to Mixed Martial Arts.  

Caroline Marks tells us how her family helped her reach the top of surfing, why she’s inspired by Simone Biles and how she has unfinished business at the Paris Olympics. The American prodigy became a World Champion for the first time earlier this year.
