Dundalk's McCrystal recognized at Her Sport Awards
The para-athlete has been honoured at the prestigious ceremony after a remarkable year
Dundalk para-athlete Eve McCrystal has been recognized at the prestigious Her Sport Awards, presented by Lidl, as part of the Ireland Para Cycling Team, which was named Her Sport Team of the Year.
Competing alongside Josephine Healion, Linda Kelly, and Katie-George Dunlevy, the team put in stunning performances at the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games which saw them bring home a gold medal and two silvers.
McCrystal and Healion further added to their impressive list of achievements by clinching a bronze medal in the World Championship Road Race in September.
Speaking after receiving the award, Katie-George Dunlevy expressed how much it meant to see para-sport getting the recognition it deserves.
“We’re absolutely delighted. Para sport doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves, so this award means a lot,” she said.
On the night, awards were presented to Ireland’s brightest stars across six categories:
- Personality of the Year, sponsored by AYA
- Young Athlete of the Year, sponsored by BPerfect Cosmetics
- Team of the Year, sponsored by Linwoods Health Foods
- Athlete of the Year, sponsored by Gym Plus Ireland
- Hall of Fame, presented by Lidl Ireland
- Community Award, sponsored by Energia
For fans who want to relive the unforgettable moments of the night, the awards ceremony will be broadcast on TG4 on Saturday, 8th February at 5:15 PM.
