Jason aims for medals in Paralymic Games

Sprinter Jason Smyth, who won double gold in the 100 and 200m at the Beijing Paralympics, is aiming to retain his modals at the London 2012 Paralympic Games next week.

Jason was recently unveiled as the first Brand Ambassador for Topaz, the fuel and convenience foods retailer.

He is the fastest paralympian in the world and one of the Irish Paralympic team's main medal hopes. T

Derry-born Smyth, who returned to Ireland last month from winter training with top US sprinter Tyson Gay in Florida, grew up with Stargardt's Disease, a genetic disorder, which has left him with less than 10 per cent of normal vision.
