Anne Dickins: From 2012 Games Maker to Paralympics gold in 2016

Great Britain's Anne Dickins reveals she was a Games Maker at London 2012 after winning gold in the KL3 canoe in Rio.

London 2012 volunteers were called Games Makers and took on a variety of roles across the Olympic venues during the Games.

The 49-year-old said: "Four years ago I was a Games Maker and just by fluke I bumped into another Games Maker who turned out to be a GB para-canoe coach.

"Finding out about my weak leg he suggested I try out for para-canoe.

"It's just been an incredible ending to an amazing story."

Dickins was one of four gold medals won by Britain on day eight at the Rio Paralympics.
