Irish Team to Return Home With 16 Medals

The London Paralympic Games conclude today with a closing ceremony that will certainly rival that of the London Olympic Games.

With Coldplay confirmed and rumours of Jay-Z and Rihanna performing, it will be certainly worth tuning into Channel 4 this evening.

Rumours have it Rihanna will join Coldplay on the stage tonight.

But more importantly, the Irish team have finished the Games with an incredible 16 medals which puts them in 15^th position in the table.

Athletes including Jason Smyth, Michael McKillop and Catherine Walsh among many others helped to bring home the eight gold, three silver and five bronze.

Michael McKillop is one of the many stars people will remember from the Games.

To add to McKillop’s track achievements, he will also be presented with a Whang Youn Dai Achievement Award for exemplifying the spirit of the Games.

The entire Irish team has been inspirational over the last couple of weeks and to be honest, we’re not sure what we’re going to watch now that they’re over!
