The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is partnering with its Worldwide Paralympic Partner Samsung to provide 30 leading athletes the chance to record exclusive behind-the-scenes video blogs during the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, where they share their everyday training and struggles.

At the London 2012 Paralympic Games Andre Brasil won three gold medals and two silvers in swimming, whilst he also broke the world record in the 50m freestyle. At Toronto 2015, Brasil left with six gold medals to become the second most decorated athlete. At the Worlds later that year, his record as one of the most formidable swimmers remained intact, winning three titles with two Championship records in the 50m freestyle and 100m backstroke.
