BT backs ultimate comeback kid in quest for Olympic success

From once being in a wheelchair, Kieran Behan has come a long way to become Ireland’s second ever Olympic gymnast.

In more good news for the 22-year-old, BT Ireland has announced a rolling sponsorship deal with the Surrey-based athlete.

Kieran has already spoken of the financial difficulties he has faced trying to compete on the international stage and acknowledged that the deal would be a major boost to him in the run-up to the Games: “To think years and years ago I was told: ‘You’re never going to be able to walk again let alone do gymnastics,’ to find out I’m going to the Olympic Games is something that dreams are made of. I’m absolutely delighted to receive this support from BT and will be putting it to very good use with my training and preparation in the coming weeks.”
