Dan Greaves has won a host of international medals in the discus, including Paralympic and World Championship gold, and the Commonwealth title in Glasgow in 2014.
He's often now found in #Birmingham and was at a school in Perry Barr today, along with Olympic heptathlon champion Denise Lewis, to look ahead to the #Commonwealth Games. This year's event is in Australia in April, but the next hosts will be Birmingham in 2022. He told BBC WM's Mike Taylor about how the Commonwealth Games help to bring para-sports closer to the rest of sport - and after seeing what the Games did to boost Glasgow, he believes Birmingham can enjoy the same benefits.
