Paralympian Michael McKillop
The most well known athlete of the group, Michael McKillop is a Middle Distance Runner, and one of Ireland’s most successful elite sportsmen. He is a three time Paralympic Gold Medalist, five time World Champion, and multiple World Record holder. We caught up with Michael as he prepares for the games.
He says he's just "Michael from north Belfast" but Michael Mckillop is a middle distance runner who has great strength and experience behind him. #PositiveEnergy

Proud supplier of #PositiveEnergy to Paralympics Ireland for Rio 2016.
At Flogas, we take a partnership approach that delivers maximum benefit to the athletes, sports, and causes we work with. We create sponsorships that really make a positive difference and help give our athletes that extra 1-2% they need to compete.
Over the years, Ireland’s Paralympians have delivered some of the country’s most memorable sporting moments, and as we kick off the Rio 2016 Paralympics, we’re delighted to be official partners of Paralympics Ireland.
To celebrate this relationship, we decided to tell the incredible stories of four Irish Paralympic athletes – focusing on their paths to success, training regimes, and most importantly, the support they’ve received throughout their careers so far. Nobody is an island unto themselves, and the cumulative support of friends, family, coaches, sponsors and supporters can be the difference in winning a medal (we hope!).
Please take a look and share these incredible stories. And to help us support our Paralympians, use the hashtag #PositiveEnergy with your message on social media.
