The spotlight returns to Beijing once again this weekend as just two weeks after the Olympic flame was extinguished in the Birds Nest stadium, the Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony gets underway on Saturday.
Cycling medal hopeful Aileen McGlynn, and Paralympics GB Chief Executive and Team GB chef de mission in Beijing, Phil Lane, talk about their hopes and aspirations over the next couple of weeks in this month's UK Sport Podcast.
Four British pairings compete this week at Britain's first ever world beach volleyball event, the SWATCH FIVB Junior (Under 21) World Championships in Brighton – an event being supported through UK Sport's World Class Events Programme (WCEP).
The presence of 100% ME, UK Sport's anti-doping education programme, at the UK School Games at the weekend, ensured that potential Olympians and Paralympians of the future learnt about what it takes to compete clean.
