Here at the Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel in London, Craig Hunter of Paralympics GB has just announced the team selected to represent GB at wheelchair rugby at the 2012 Paralympics. Our friends from C4 TV accompanied the athletes on the coach from their training at Stoke Mandeville to the hotel for tonight’s announcement, followed by Kylie Grimes and Steve Brown being interviewed live by John Snow on the C4 evening news slot. It’s been a great evening and unsurprisingly those selected are buzzing with excitement as the media clamour for interviews. The team for 2012 is:
0.5 Kylie Grimes 0.5 Jonathan Coggan 1.0 Bulbul Hussain 1.5 Myles Pearson 1.5 Mike Kerr 2.0 Andrew Barrow 2.0 Stephen Brown (Captain) 2.5 David Anthony 2.5 Mandip Sehmi 2.5 Ross Morrison 3.5 Aaron Phipps
Congratulations to all who have been selected …. now the hard work really begins!
