The event, to be held at Brunel University in London on April 12th, aims to find athletes to 'fast track' into sport. It is also aimed at athletes who might want to transfer from one sport to another.

Trials will be held in sports including Athletics, Powerlifting, Judo and Rowing for athletes from varying disability groups. Athletes aged 15-35 will be selected according to their ability and determination to succeed.


Talent Pathways Officer at ParalympicsGB, Tabo Huntley, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for us to identify talent to complement our existing group of talented sportsmen and women.”

“With just over four years until the London 2012 Paralympic Games and around two years until the Vancouver Winter Paralympics in 2010, we still have time to identify exceptionally talented athletes who can be fast-tracked to success in a number of sports.”
