Paralympics legend Kurt Fearnley joins Seven’s team for Tokyo 2020
• Sunday marked just 100 days to go until the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games
Kurt Fearnley will join the Seven Network’s team for one of elite sport’s greatest events, the Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020.
Sunday marked just 100 days to go until the opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games, which, together with the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, will be Australia’s biggest-ever broadcast and digital event – all to be broadcast in HD on Seven and 7plus.
To celebrate Paralympic milestone, Seven has launched a campaign about what donning the iconic green and gold uniform means to Paralympic team members, accompanied by footage of Tokyo 2020 gold medal hopes such as Dylan Alcott, Ryley Batt, Madison de Rozario, Curtis McGrath, Ellie Cole and Scott Reardon.
In a wheelchair racing career, Fearnley won 13 medals, including three gold, across five Paralympic Games, in events ranging from the 100m relay to the marathon. The rare talent, grit and sportsmanship he displayed over two decades made him an Australian sporting icon.
Fearnley will join Johanna Griggs and fellow Paralympics gold medallist Annabelle Williams to anchor Seven’s Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games coverage, including the opening and closing ceremonies.
Starting 16 days after the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 close, Seven’s coverage will take fans inside the Paralympic Games across 13 action-packed days.
From morning to midnight every day on Seven and 7plus, viewers will be able to choose from up to 16 live streams.
