#SALParaPower! Event schedule for nine Scots at the Paralympics
Paralympics countdown: Libby’s last act on track and Mel looks ahead
The stage is set in Tokyo for the Paralympic Games – with the action having already started across this multi-sport event.
Now the final countdown is on to the start of the tack and field action for Team GB.
It’s brilliant to have no fewer than nine Scottish athletes out in Japan with the British team and we know excitement is rising across our community to watch and support our #SALParaPower.
Maria Lyle opens up in terms of the Scots in the T11 100m heats (through the night from Thursday to Friday) and Derek Rae is the last of our cohort to compete with his T46 Marathon coming up on saturday 5 September.
We send our good luck wishes to all the athletes in Japan and reiterate our congratulations to them and their coaches, families and clubs on their selection for the Paralympics.
