Winter Paralympics: GB curler Angie Malone on training through cancer treatment

The year before Angie Malone turned 50 was the year she had the time of her life.
A life and sporting career that had taken in personal injury, family trauma and medals of every colour led her to the 2014 Winter Paralympics and a bronze in wheelchair curling for Great Britain.
Now she will have the time of her life all over again at Pyeongchang 2018 - her fourth Winter Games - and enters with an infectious positivity that would have seemed so far away when she was paralysed in a car accident as a teenager.
"I was 16. I had broken my back and was paralysed from the chest down. I was devastated. I thought it was the end of the word. I had visions of my career - I wanted to be a nurse," she tells BBC Sport.
