Rudy Garcia-Tolson’s prosthetic legs

Episode 2

Gold medals, pirates and the price of movement

Paralympic gold medallist and ambassador for the Challenged Athletes Foundation Rudy Garcia-Tolson joins Dr Anna to share the one item he can’t live without - his prosthetic legs.  

Our Chief Advisor of Discovery Marie-Pierre Paquin also joins the conversation. As they track the evolution in prosthetic limbs, Rudy shares memories of search parties being sent out to find parts of his legs during recess, and they investigate the complexity of processing one of the central materials in prosthetics - titanium - which is one of the most abundant metals on earth.
