Today we're talking about the life and achievements of one of our most successful athletes.
Eve Rimmer was the first woman to represent New Zealand at the Paralympics, and first person to win a medal.
Eve competed in a variety of athletic events and swimming. She won 32 international medals, twenty-two of them gold, including eight paralympic golds.
She's one of our most decorated athletes to date. Sports writer and broadcaster Phil Gifford met her, he joins Jesse to talk about.
