Celebrating Coventry’s Paralympian Kare Adenegan at the University of Warwick
We are delighted to welcome back to campus Coventry's Paralympian and History student, Kare Adenegan, as we host the official homecoming celebration ceremony at the Sports and Wellness Hub after Kare won two silver medals at the postponed Tokyo Paralympics 2020 in the T34 wheelchair 100m and 800m events.
Pupils from Bablake and King Henry VIII School were invited to attend the celebratory event as this is where Kare went to school previously. She delivered an inspiring speech followed by taking part in a Q&A session, allowing the children to ask her some questions about her life leading up to becoming a professional athlete, her inspiring story behind why she wanted to become an athlete and to even discuss the innovation behind her wheelchair used for racing.
