Support all our Yorkshire Olympians!

While it may not be a definitive list, we hope this collection of Team GB members with a Yorkshire connection will give you some idea of the Olympic talent that has been nurtured in the county.

You can follow the #YorkshireOlympians on Twitter via the @YorkshireRiding list Yorkshire Olympians 2012, and get involved with our Proud to be Yorkshire campaign here.

 UPDATE:  We have started a list of Yorkshire Paralympians here. Only three weeks to go!

I'm going to the Paralympics on the 6 Sept to see the athletics. I have no idea who is going from Yorkshire? Any research you can do for that day or just generally would be greatly appreciated! Lorraine (Wakefield)
