2012 legacy is being fulfilled, says David Weir

David Weir believes the legacy of London 2012 has left parasport stronger than ever as the six-time gold medallist prepares for this weekend’s IPC Athletics Grand Final.

The meeting at Birmingham’s Alexander Stadium will be the first major international event since the Paralympics and Weir (above) will be hoping to continue his gold medal form from last summer.

He said: “For Britain to host the first ever Sainsbury’s IPC Athletics Grand Prix Final and to sell out the Stadium for the third day of the Sainsbury’s Anniversary Games [in July], shows that the Paralympic legacy is real and very much alive.”
