Do you Possess Paralympic Potential?

UK Sport is searching for the Paralympians of the future, with the aim of finding athletes good enough to compete at London 2012.

In partnership with ParalympicsGB, the UK Talent Team is seeking talented disability sportsmen and women with the potential to become Paralympic champions in 2012.

3 December 2009 saw the 1000 day countdown to the start of the Paralympics in 2012 and the search has now begun to find a new generation that can win gold for team GB and continue the sporting legacy on from London.

With less than 3 years to go until the Paralympics, it is not too late. At the 2008 Beijing Paralympics, 15 of 42 gold medals won by team GB were achieved by first time Paralympians. In addition, a third of the Paralympians at Beijing had been on a world class elite coaching programme for less than 2 years.

Now complete an athlete profile…

This could be the last chance to find out if you have what it takes to win gold at London 2012! All you have to do is complete an athlete profile and submit it to the UK Talent Team.

The purpose of this Athlete Profile is to allow the Talent Identification Scientists and Paralympic coaches to gain a greater understanding of your sporting background and the nature of your disability. This information could then be used to match you to a sport where your chances of success may be increased.

The closing date for applications is MONDAY 11 JANUARY 2010. Follow this link to fill out a form
