Tullamore Cyclist Narrowly Misses Out On Paralympic Final On Debut

Josephine Healion returns to the Paris velodrome on Sunday morning.

Josephine Healion agonisingly missed out on a place in a Paralympic final on her debut at the games this afternoon.

The Offally racer and her pilot Linda Kelly finished seventh in the heats, with the top six going through to this evening's final at the Paris Velodrome.

Katie-George Dunlevy has qualified for the final of the Women's B 1000-metre time trial, with her pilot Eve McChrystal.

Elsewhere, Ronan Grimes failed to advance from the Men's C4-5 1000-metre time trial qualifying, despite posting a new national record.

Healion will return to the track for the 3km Individual Pursuit on Sunday at 10.22am.

Following that, her preferred road events take place on Wednesday and Friday.
