No idea at all, but as usual I expect SVK team attempt to fight for the top of the tally in Cycling and shooting as usual. But seriously no idea, we are not so good as at winter paralympics but we can fairly expect a couple of medal in the above mentioned sports, especially cycling

Jason Smyth is pretty well known in Ireland. He has won gold in each of the last 3 Paralympics. He even qualified for the (able bodied) European championships in 2010 making the semi finals

 

Before Mona McSharry reached the Olympic final this year, Paralympian Ellen Keane may have been the most famous swimmer in the country. She’s involved in advertising campaigns for several brands. She won bronze in Rio (and the 2019 world championships). 
 

The team will hope to win 10-15 medals total with athletics and cycling being our strongest sports usually

It’s a big event for :GBR, lots of our athletes get lottery funding & some are pretty well known. Wouldn’t put a figure on total medals, but certainly third or fourth place overall is what we’d be going for.

The unofficial target in the UK is 100 as the bare minimum with hopes to get above 130 again. But they are fears it could be a struggle getting to that 100.

Two for two! Smyth and Keane both winning gold. Amazing :IRL

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
