Paralympic Breakfast: Another busy day for Team Ireland
IN RECENT DAYS here at TheScore.ie, we’ve become accustomed to rubbing our eyes for fear that this all might be a dream.
Ireland have enjoyed unprecedented success at these Paralympics, winning ten medals thus far.
And with plenty more athletes in action today, it’d be foolish to bet against them adding to their tally before Day Seven is through.
Who’s flying the flag?
Following his encouraging 18th place finish yesterday, Sean Baldwin is in action again at 9am today, as he competes in the 50m Rifle 3 positions SH1 qualifiers.
At 10.30am, Cathal Miller – who you may remember was the Irish flag bearer at the Paralympic Opening Ceremony – is in the Men’s Individual C 5 Time Trial, and fellow Irish cyclist, Enda Smyth, then features in the Men’s Individual C 3 Time Trial at 11am.

Another cyclist, Colin Lynch, subsequently takes part in the Men’s Individual C 2 Time Trial Finals at 11.28am.
At 11.30am, the Irish table tennis side take on France in the Men’s Team – Class 1-2 quarter-finals.
Mark Rohan is in the individual time trial H1 at 3.55pm, while Catherine Walsh and Katie George Dunlevy are in action in the Women’s Individual B Time Trial at 2.52pm. And again in cycling, the Men’s Individual B Time Trial features James Brown.
Do not miss…
Wheelchair Rugby
It’s one of the most entertaining and fascinating sports to watch at the Paralympics, and the long wait for Wheelchair Rugby is almost over, as it begins today, with Team GB facing defending champions USA at 2pm.
Athletics
As is often the case, there’s been a lot of controversy surrounding Oscar Pistorius in recent days. But tonight, he’ll hopefully let his performance do the talking, as he participates in the T44 100m heats at 7pm.
Cycling
Catherine Walsh made a big impression the last time she competed in these Games, so you’ve no excuse if you miss the Irish cyclist this time around, with her race beginning at 2.52pm.
