- Para cyclist Richael Timothy wrapped up her #Paralympics2024 with an 11th-placed finish in the Women's C1-3 Road Race. She spoke to @darrenfrehill afterwards #RTEsport #Paris2024 pic.twitter.com/5ZeXpzalUH
"My goal was just stay on them for as long as I could, so I kind of had to chase back after both of the hills, three or four times, and I just couldn't keep doing it. I did nearly two laps on my own, I didn't want to give up."
Timothy admitted her frustration at not being able to seriously challenge the medal positions.
"I'm just not at the level I need to be at to be aiming for medals, so I just did the best I could and hopefully that's good enough for now.
"I think I'll do it next year, and then I'll see how I'm fixed. A few things I need to change going forward, I'm just so slow in comparison to the team.
On camp, you're just getting your ass handed to you every time, so I think we just need more people of my standard as opposed to people with four legs."
