Lex Gillette: The blind long jumper

American athlete Lex Gillette might not be able to see, but it doesn't stop him from running and jumping record breaking distances. With the support of his sighted guide, he competes all over the world winning numerous medals in the long jump.

He's won four consecutive Paralympic silvers and might be the greatest athlete in the history of the Games to not win gold. Could Tokyo 2020 be his time to shine on the podium?
