Through Northern Ireland is probably the area that least needs things like this to help improve the Union - everyone there is firmly committed one way or the other on this issue and things like this will change no one’s mind.

Grassmarket 2,748 Posted January 13, 2022 #206 Share Posted January 13, 2022 British medal targets set for Beijing - three to seven medals for the Olympics, five to nine in the Paras. Not sure about the Paras, but I think the Olympics are possible. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/winter-olympics/59981942 rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All three curling events are possibilities and both of Hall's bobsleigh drives. Bankes and Ormerod in snowboarding and perhaps something in freestyle skiing and/or men's skeleton. Unfortunately ski jumping is set to be a big fail again. 😊 The Para targets should be achieved mainly through alpine skiing but they could also win medals in snowboarding and wheelchair curling.

GB finished the World Para Snowsports Championships with ten medals (2-4-4) so their Paralympic Games target of 5-9 is well within reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
