James Brown (no relation to the singer) almost became Irelands first medal winner at this years Paralympic Games competing in the individual pursuit in London. Coming in to the final kilometer The visually impaired Brown and his pilot Damien Shaw from Mullingar held a slight lead over the Spanish Pair. With only four laps of the track to go could the duo hold on and claim a remarkable third place finish??

Alas it was not to be as the Spaniards ground the brave Irishmen into submission and claimed the bronze medal for themselves. Heartbreaking stuff for the two men who have only been competing together since February.
