The Mountcharles community and Donegal Bay cyclists gathered in force on Saturday to welcome home their Paralympic hero, Katie-George Dunlevy.
Adorned with their hard-earned Paris Paralympic medals, Katie-George and her tandem pilot Linda Kelly were greeted with many congratulations in the home village of Katie-George’s father, John.
Katie-George took home a superb Paralympic Gold in the Women’s Time Trial B road race, as well as two Silver medals in the Individual Pursuit B (with pilot Eve McCrystal) and Road Race B.
Weeks later, Katie-George and Linda continued their winning streak at the World Championships in Zurich, where they clinched two more gold medals in the Time Trial B and Road Race B events.
The celebratory atmosphere was greatly enhanced by the St. Peter’s School Reunion Band and the Donegal Bay Cycling Club.
Paul O’Sullivan from Donegal Online was there to capture all the special moments:
