London 2012 Paralympic Games schedule revealed
Great Britain's track cyclists will begin the medal quest for ParalympicsGB at the London 2012 Games.
The schedule has been announced and defending champions Darren Kenny and Sarah Storey will hope to contest finals on the opening day, 30 August.
Sports tickets will cost £10-£45, with ceremony tickets costing £20.12-£500.
Ellie Simmonds, who became GB's youngest ever Paralympic medallist in 2008, begins the defence of her S6 400m freestyle title on 1 September.
The S6 100m freestyle event, which in China the then 13-year-old Simmonds also took gold in - will take place on 7 September.
Great Britain's haul of 102 medals (42 gold) at the Beijing Paralympics put them second in the overall standings.
ParalympicsGB Chief Executive & Team West of England Co-Chair Tim Hollingsworth hopes to repeat those achievements and go further in London 2012.
"For us, a successful home Games is not just about maintaining our second place on the medal table in the face of increasing competition," said Hollingsworth, "it's about raising the profile of Paralympic sport and British Paralympians.
"The Paralympics here in the UK can step out of the shadow of the Olympic Games. Our time is now."
Great Britain participated in 18 of the 20 Paralympic sports in Beijing but the ambition is for representation in each discipline in London.
To date only five athletes have been officially named in the London 2012 ParalympicsGB team, which is expected to be around 300-strong.
