A second medal for Ireland at the Paralympics. A second silver medal. A fitting, if not perfect send-off in the last ever ride of Katie-George Dunlevy and Eve McCrystal’s 11-year partnership.

Silver in the 3,000m individual pursuit three years ago in Tokyo, it was silver again for the pair. But what an effort in their final outing together.
