Our team went over to Paris to cover the Paralympic Games, but whilst there, Toby and Paulina decided to step away from sport for a moment and immerse themselves in a bit of modern art.

Image shows Toby posing in front of Chopin's Waterloo, a sculpture from 1962 made by artist Arman. Described the Pompidou Centre as "destruction-dislocation" of an upright piano. The scattered pieces of the musical instrument were then reassembled on a panel in a Cubist collage fashion. The panel beneath is a stark red colour and the pieces of the piano are scattered around and out of order, including broken off pieces of wood and strings hanging down.
