  Coming up on this episode of The Neutral Zone, we are pleased to be joined by Canadian wheelchair racer and Paralympic medallist Austin Smeenk. Austin will stop by to talk about his wonderful national and international career! Also, with the success of the Commonwealth Games being a combined event of able-bodied athletes and para athletes, does this event lend itself to future combined major events? The panel will discuss this and also the question, is the pressure of sports self-inflicted or out of our control entirely?
