    Goodluck to all of these amazing athletes who have overcome such great obstacles in the pursuit of greatness.............its easy to be average or good at somthing but to be born with a disadvantage and to fight against it to achieve a level of skill and mastery at any chosen field is truly an amazing achievment.

    to all the irish athletes id like to say--never give up.....because when the rain clears and the sun shines just look under that rainbow and get your gold.....
