Seven inspirational British Para-Athletes are stepping in front of the camera to tell their stories in the new series of 'My Icon'

During Black History Month last year, Sky Sports produced over 30 short films featuring black and minority ethnic people across sport talking about their journeys and those who helped to guide them.

The 'My Icon' series proved a big hit with audiences and returned during last winter's award-winning Rainbow Laces Week, bringing LGBT stories from across the world of sport firmly into focus.
