OUR EXPERT
Paralympic trike racer Hannah Dines
There was no more obvious choice to write our paralympic preview than Hannah Dines. On the trike, Dines won silver in the T2 time trial and bronze in the T2 road race at the Belgian World Cup this year and scored top-five finishes at World Championship and Paralympic level.
In addition to her many athletic achievements, Hannah’s sparkling contributions to our opinion section each month are always a highlight and she’s also written for myriad cycling and national newspapers and magazines. When, during the course of editing this preview, we learned that she had been signed up by Channel 4 to contribute to their TV coverage of the event, we weren’t at all surprised.
The fact is that she knows a good chunk of the team personally – she’s a very personable individual – and has an unrivaled perspective on what it takes to win at para-cycling events.
Her insights have proved invaluable and we look forward to listening and watching her no-doubt enlightenment commentary on TV.
