Sharron Vernard
Sharron Venard has got the best chance for team GB to win a medal for NI. She has got a very strong personality and has got the experience that you need with a good eye. I feel that she do very well….Go team NI.
Jason Smyth
Jason is one of the contenders that I think can do very well. He has won medals at the Paralympics before and I feel that that little bit of experience is key to his success. For a small country like NI to produce a competitor who wants to compete in both the Olympics and Paralympics games is quite incredible. This proves that a small country can do anything. Jason is a visually impaired paralympian .
Michael McKillop
If form is anything to go by this guy has a chance and with a world record in his bag he can go very far. I feel that if he runs well he will get a medal lets hope it’s a gold. He does represent team NI and he will do very well.
Oscar Pistorius
Oscar Pistorous is in my opinion the greatest runner ever. He does not have the advantage of brain to leg which means that he does not have that natural thing that others have. I think he should not be forgotten as in my opinion he is a God in sport and should be recognised as such. You see statues of former footballers outside grounds and I think he should have grander recognition. I will write more about Oscar later.
These are the athletes I will be following closely on my blog...I will tell you some interesting facts as I go along.
