A Scottish Paralympian has announced that she will be the first blind contestant on the British TV show"Dancing on Ice" when it returns to screens next year.
Libby Clegg, who won two gold medals at the Rio Paralympics in 2016, in the 100 and 200 meters T11 sprint, told the BBC's"Victoria Derbyshire" program that she would take part in the 2020 season of the show, which pairs celebrities and professional skaters. Clegg, who gave birth to her first child just five months ago, is currently training for the World Para Athletics Championships in Dubai in November. She also hopes to compete in the Tokyo Paralympics next year.
