Kim Dean represented IoM at 2022 Commonwealth Games
The Isle of Man's first ever para-athlete at a Commonwealth Games hopes para sports can continue to get greater exposure going into the future.
Kim Dean represented the Island in para-powerlifting in Birmingham earlier this year.
Now based away from Manx shores, Kim is looking to qualify for a spot in the Great Britain paralympic squad for the Paralympic Games in Paris in 2024.
Speaking to Manx Radio's Marc Tyley, she says having para sports integrated with other disciplines at the Birmingham games was a great experience:
Golf: 2027 Isle of Man competition schedule announced
Tributes paid to 'legend' Eric Bregazzi
Powerlifting: Isle of Man squad confirmed for 2026 Home Nations
Badminton: Mixed starts for Island sides at county championships
