Just when you thought the medal ceremonies were all over, British athletes are heading to Beijing in a bid for sporting glory.
More than 200 contenders are traveling to China to take part in the 2008 Paralympic Games between September 6 and 17.
Competing in 18 sports, the team hopes to add to the recent haul of gold medals by TeamGB and finish in the top three countries.
China is widely expected to top the medal table.
Most of the British squads will travel to the Far East – many via the ParalympicsGB holding camps in Hong Kong and Macau – over the next week.
The GB squad’s returning champions include archer John Cavanagh, 800m runner Danny Crates, swimmer Gareth Duke and cyclists Darren Kenny and Aileen McGlynn.
At the Athens 2004 Paralympic Games, Britain finished second in the medal table with a total of 35 golds, 30 silver and 29 bronze medals.
