Celebrate our sporting superstars

Our Parasports athletes have done Scotland proud, so join us as we mark their incredible achievements

THEY’RE not just heroes – they’re our superheroes.

Scotland’s Parasports men and women have done the nation proud after a fantastic year.

A successful Olympics in Rio for our athletes was followed up in September with another haul of medals at the 15th Summer Paralympics in the same city.

And we want to honour our Parasports stars at the first Nordoff Robbins Therapy Scotland Sporting Awards, which is supported by The Sunday Post.

Over the past few weeks we’ve revealed the nominees for categories like Outstanding Contribution to Sport and Breakthrough Personality of the Year.

And now we’re delighted to announce the names of the nominees for Parasports Personality of the Year awards.

We’ve split the nominations into two categories – men and women.

The winners, chosen by our selection committee made up of Nordoff Robbins board members and our Sunday Post team, will be announced at the glitzy awards ceremony on March 10.

Donald MacLeod, Sunday Post columnist and chairman of Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy Scotland, said: “We are extremely proud to announce the shortlists for this year’s Parasport Personality of the Year Awards.

“The athletes are truly inspiring and have achieved incredible things across their sports.

“From swimming to athletics these athletes have shown commitment, dedication and determination to get to where they are today and we could not be prouder to celebrate those achievements at this year’s awards.”
