Bio:
Sofie Skoubo has left a mark on parasport. Not only is she a regular on the successful Danish wheelchair rugby team that has qualified for the Paralympics in Tokyo, she has also fought off the court to focus on the special needs of parathletes. In addition to her career as a national team player, Skoubo has studied politics and administration at Aalborg University and currently works for the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation. It is here she is the project manager for an initiative where children, who due to disability, cannot be present in the classroom, have a robot set up at school, so they can follow the lessons and be part of the community in the class from home.
