LDN 2012: To all the Emily's, Andrew's and Molly's.

Well that's that. The Paralympics has ended with a fantastic closing ceremony. Off to Rio.

David Weir and Sarah Storey, our quadruple Gold medal winners, carried the Union flag into the stadium. Ellie and Jonnie extinguished the flame to reignite torches of hope that were sent to all parts of the stadium, so the spirit of the games continue to burn within.  We will miss you paralympics for the inspiration you provided and the fun and amazement you created.

Lord Coe shared two stories of Games Makers he had met on the tube. Andrew, a Doctor, who had been on duty on 7/7. He had travelled from despair to hope on his journey through humanity and along the way had experienced London's capacity to regroup, carry on and be victorious. Lord Coe had also found Emily, whose experience of wheelchair basketball had also inspired her and overcome the perception of what we can and can't do.

We also had  brief words of wisdom from Jimmy Carr. He likened Paralympics to the Weather it was now the topic of conversation - the ice breaker of interaction between strangers. Some close friends of ours have a baby, 10 months old, called Molly. She has Downs, we were at dinner today and talking about what events she may participate in at the 2028 Paralympic Games - now that's progression.

Thank you to all the Games Makers, Armed Forces, Emergency Services, spectators and credit where it is due to LOCOG for an amazing games. For their super human efforts, thank you to all athletes.

Sports Pulse would like to thank Paralympic GB for providing the posts and pictures, we will be following the paralympic athletes throughout the journey to Rio.
