Jody Cundy (sprint/team sprint), Darren Kenny (team sprint), Mark Bristow (team sprint), Sarah Storrey (pursuit), Aileen McGlynn and Ellen Hunter (womens tandem sprint), Rachel Morris (hand cyclist, not sure which event), Barney Storrey and Anthony Kappes (blind tandem sprint), Simon Richardson (Kilo).

These guys are treated and funded like the main squad (check out the BC website for the squad tandem - it truly rocks!), so don't bet against another few golds, and a hatful of medals

CavSupporter: agree!
I think the Paralympics lose their impetus coming after 2 weeks of intense sport .... and frankly THEIR achievements are far greater.
These athletes fight their disability, and show more strength than us able bodied types !!
And I have found no coverage on German, Austrian TV even or Eurosport ?`?!!
