Editor's Blog
Hi, welcome to the Editor's Blog. My name's Nick and I'm the National Parasport Manager and have been since Parasport was created. In my blog I aim to update you all about what Parasport is doing to improve its service, what new ideas and partnerships are being developed and most importantly what new opportunities we can identify to provide to you.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog and please feel free to comment on any of the topics I cover.
Cheers

Gareth Davies
Gareth A Davies has been a sports journalist for The Daily Telegraph since 1993, reporting on a range of sports around the world at major events, and appears regularly on Radio 5 Live and TalkSport. His portfolio for the Telegraph currently includes correspondent on boxing, polo, junior sport, and Paralympic sport. He also pens sports interviews and features.
Beijing will be the fourth Summer Paralympic Games he has covered for the Telegraph. When the International Paralympic Committee awarded The Daily Telegraph its Print Media Coverage Award of the Athens Games in 2004, Davies - known as 'Nana' for his apparent likeness to Nana Mouskouri - says it was a moment of great satisfaction, having worked with a passion to help develop and gain wider coverage in the mainstream media for Paralympic, and disability sport.
'Nana' has also received four other writing awards in the last decade, two of which were for reporting on disability sport. He was also nominated for 'Sports Story of The Year' in 2005 by the Sports Journalists' Association for his reporting on the plight of the football legend Ferenc Puskas, who was suffering from a form of Alzheimer's Disease. Nana admits that he has two pet hates - losing, and having his hair cut.
