5 Live Breakfast producer Gemma Collis speaks to Rick Edwards and Rachel Burden about winning the wheelchair fencing World Cup and becoming world number one. Gemma took up fencing after developing complex regional pain syndrome in her right leg as a teenager, a condition which ended her dream of representing Team GB in the triple jump at the Olympics.
