Wheelchair basketball


Team GB and team China line up for the start of their group wheelchair match during the Beijing paralympics. The 'dancing fan' (National Indoor Stadium) was packed to the gills and we were also graced with the presence of China's president Hu Jintao. Unfortunately for the home crowd, their team went down 34-81.

Team GB went on to take the bronze medal - adding to their spectacular 2nd place finish overall and more than 100 paralympic medals in total.
