London 2012 Paralympics: 'Quadfather' Peter Norfolk heads ParalympicsGB wheelchair tennis team In the men's events, selected athletes are Gordon Reid, Marc McCarroll, David Phillipson and Alex Jewitt. Reid, who made his Games debut in Beijing, commented: "I am overwhelmed by the news. It has been a hard few years with so many hours of training but everything has been worthwhile if I get to pull on a ParalympicsGB shirt and represent my country on the biggest stage possible. In the women's singles events, Lucy Shuker and Jordanne Whiley return to the team to make their second Games appearance, while Louise Hunt will make her Games debut in London. For Whiley Paralympic competition is in her genes: her father also competed for Britain at the Paralympic Games in New York in 1984, winning a bronze medal on the track. She said: "I was so happy to be selected. I started preparing for London as soon as I finished competing in Beijing, and it has always been my main goal. Therefore, to hear that I have been selected for the home Games has really made my day. I think London 2012 will be different from my experiences in Beijing, but in a good way. There will certainly be expectation and pressure, but I know everyone will be backing us and I think it will be incredible. Craig Hunter, chef de mission for ParalympicsGB, added his congratulations saying: "Wheelchair Tennis, like its Olympic counterpart, has one of the most intense international competition circuits of any Paralympic sport and these players spend weeks at a time abroad, training and competing in order to get themselves into the best possible shape both physically and tactically. These players give up so much in their lives and sacrifice so much in order to dedicate themselves to their sport, and so it is a great honour to be able to reward all their hard work by confirming their selection to ParalympicsGB today. It is one of the most exciting Paralympic sports on the programme and so I can't wait to go and see and support these players when they compete at London 2012.
