Paralympics 2012 Daily Diary

Medal watch.... It's another huge day tomorrow for the Irish Paralympic team with 3 very strong medal prospects in action.
Jason Smyth goes in pursuit of the Paralympic double double (100m/200m golden double at both Beijing and London Olympics) tomorrow evening. It would be the shock of the Games if he didn't go on to win the 200m and bring home yet another Paralympic title for Ireland.
Jason Smyth showing off his gold medal from the 100m:
Mark Rohan is another man going for a golden double of his own. Having already bagged gold in the H1 time-trial event, Mark is back in action tomorrow morning in the road race and is the favourite to come home in first place. Gold is not a certainty but he is the man to beat in this event and fingers crossed he'll get another gold medal and bolster his status as the best in the world in his category.
Mark savouring his gold medal from the H1 Time-Trial:
Catherine O'Neill is back in action tomorrow having narrowly failed to win a medal in last week's club throw, eventually finishing the competition in 4th position having been in a medal position for so long. However her prospects for the women's F51/52/53 Shot Put tomorrow are much brighter and she comes into the event as the reigning World Champion. She won't be the outright favourite though as a British girl in the same disability category has a much better season's best than Catherine but she is certainly looking good for a medal at least, if she can get close to her best form. Gold is not a certainty for anyone either though so keep your eyes on Catherine's progress tomorrow morning. I'm predicting a medal for New Ross woman.
Catherine O'Neill in action in the club throw last week:
Despite not adding to the medal tally today, Ireland are still well up the medals table in 19th place. Tomorrow however, is set to make up for that with 3 huge medal prospects in action, Jason and Mark favoured for gold and Catherine capable of a medal at the very least.
All in all, tomorrow is shaping up to be a great one for the Irish and possibly yet another golden day!!0 -

Did you guys get to see it?
I didn't, Silvio,
I was reading the updates on http://www.paralympics.ie/live/ which were very good.
Having no pictures made it extra-tense, but I should have had more faith in Mark. Never in doubt!

Michael Conlan is on the Late Late tonight....probably Paddy Barnes along with him. Might watch that too. About the only time I watch it, when I know one of the Irish athletes are coming on

Well done to Mark and Catherine today....an amazing haul.
