Healion Signs Off Paralympic Debut With Fourth Place Road Race Finish

Friday, 6 September 2024 18:23

The Tullamore woman was in the medal race up to the closing stages.

Josephine Healion's Paralympics ended today with a fourth place finish in the Women's B Road Race in Paris.

The Offaly rider made it back to back events in the world's top five with a consistent performance that saw her ride in the front group for over half of the 85.2km course.

The British bikes of Sophie Unwin and Lora Fachie finished in first and third while Katie-George Dunlevy and Linda Kelly won the silver medal.

That took Dunlevy's personal Paralympic medal tally to eight this afternoon.

She says still taking time to digest her own accomplishments.

Damien Vereker and pilot Mitchell McLaughlin were eighth in the Men’s Individual B Road Race.

And Ronan Grimes was 17th in the Men’s C4-to-C5 road race.

Newtownards swimmer Barry McClements was fifth in this evening’s final of the 100-metre Butterfly S9.
