It may well prove to be her swansong on the big stage, but as she prepares to compete at a third summer games in Paris in the coming days, cyclist Eve McCrystal says she remains as passionate as ever about delivering Paralympics success for Team Ireland.

Over the course of the past decade, McCrystal has forged a formidable partnership with Katie-George Dunlevy – serving as her sighted pilot across a whole host of major championships. At their first Paralympics together in Rio eight years ago, the pair secured a gold medal in the women’s B road time trial as well as silver in the women’s B road race.
