Halberg Para Athlete of the Year, Anna Grimaldi, on removing the sleeves, ditching the pockets, and no longer hiding her disability.
Today’s guest is triple gold medal-winning Paralympian Anna Grimaldi, fresh off a Halberg Award win and delivering one of the best speeches of the night.
The personal milestones Anna has achieved since becoming a para athlete are nothing short of remarkable. While we often focus on sporting achievements, it’s equally fascinating to look beyond the results and gain insight into the person behind the headlines.
This is a compelling, open, and raw discussion with Anna.
