Orla Barry already throwing herself into Tokyo 2020 preparations

Paralympian Orla Barry is already targeting Toyko gold after being honoured in Cork for her silver medal in the F57 discus in Rio.

Speaking after she accepted an East Cork & District Sports’ Special Achievement Award at the Midleton Park Hotel, the Ladysbridge woman said: “Before Rio, I was thinking ‘four years is a long time and I’ve already done three Paralympics’ but you just get the bug and you want it so much, that you just keep going.

“I’m not finished yet. There’s still a lot more that I want to accomplish so I won’t stop yet.”
