It’s fair to say that Yip Pin Xiu has had a good 2024. Singapore’s most decorated paralympian extended her streak with another two gold medals in Paris this year, and she just got engaged! In this episode, she hits the YLB studio to tell us about the challenges of competing on the world stage, and whether or not it’s okay to ask about persons with disabilities about their condition (hint: how you ask is more important than what you ask). She also gives us the inside scoop on what it’s like to have your likeness sculpted by Madame Tussauds.
