London 2012 Olympics

The Vancouver 2010 Winter Paralympics kick off this evening. Once again, I’m looking forward to see elite athletes pushing themselves to achieve everything they believe they can - and more - as they aim to be the best they can be. 

I find the determination and courage shown by Paralympians awesome, inspirational. It lifts the heart and makes you feel you too can achieve whatever you want if you truly put your mind to it.

It was great to see a number of personal bests from Team GB athletes at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics:

Amy Williams – GOLD in the Women's Skeleton! First Team GB Olympic Winter gold medal since Women's Curlers in 2002.
