The Paralympics start in Rio in September, but there have been concerns that not enough tickets have been sold. There is speculation that some smaller countries might have to pull out due to lack of grants from Rio.

Ade Adepitan is a British wheelchair basketball player, whose team won a bronze medal at the 2004 Summer Paralympics in Athens and the gold medal at the 2005 Paralympic World Cup in Manchester.

He tells Carolyn Quinn that he wishes the International Olympic and Paralympic organisations would work closer together to ensure there is sufficient funding for smaller countries who are taking part .
