Let\u2019s take a look at the standout achievements of Ireland\u2019s cycling stars and what these successes mean for the future of Irish cycling!<\/p>\n

Paralympic success: Katie-George Dunlevy and Linda Kelly shine again<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ireland\u2019s dominance in Paralympic cycling continued in Paris, led by the unstoppable duo of Katie-George Dunlevy and Linda Kelly. Competing in the women\u2019s B road race, the pair claimed a silver medal, adding to their already impressive collection of Paralympic accolades. This was followed by an even greater triumph in the women\u2019s individual B time trial, where they secured their third consecutive Paralympic gold medal in the event.<\/p>\n

Dunlevy and Kelly\u2019s performance in the time trial was nothing short of spectacular. Over the course of the challenging 31.2 km route, they powered to victory, cementing their status as one of the top tandem cycling teams in the world. Their win in Paris continues a remarkable run of success that began in Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020, and their ability to perform at the highest level across multiple Paralympic Games is an inspiration to both current and future athletes.<\/p>\n
