and btw John Twomey of Ireland is going to compete his 11th paralympics :yikes::bowdown: He started as a table tennis player, later he became a discus thrower and in the couple of last paralympics he compete in sailing :d

 

Raise you one. 74 year old Libby Kosmala of Australia is competing in her twelfth games (1972-2016). Had it not been for an administrative error she would also have competed in 1968.

An awesome career indeed :)

 

Ireland's target is 8 medals at these Paralympics which is much lower than last time in London 2012 where we won 8 golds and 16 medals in total. Jason Smyth and Michael McKillop will be going for their 4th gold medals on the track here. Hoping for some good results :)
