The Paralympic Winter Games get underway today. Our focus once again shifts to Vancouver as we aim to learn as much as possible about the way the Games run; next time, it's us. 

There's also plenty more sporting action to look forward to, with elite Paralympians striving to go beyond their personal best and hopefully come back with a medal.

We'll be cheering on ParalympicsGB athletes as they compete in Wheelchair Curling and Alpine Skiing, as well as enjoying all the rest of the action at the Games. If you've never seen Paralympic winter sport before make sure you tune in! It's available to watch online at www.paralympicsport.tv

Once again we're inviting athletes from the Summer Games to share their own thoughts on events - visit our blog over the next two weeks to find out what they have to say.

In the meantime, back in the UK we continue to make great progress on the Park and plans. The Olympic Stadium reached its full height last week as the first lighting tower was lifted into place.

The start of the Paralympic Games also coincides with the end of London 2012 Diversity Week, which highlighted the efforts we are making to ensure we create 'everyone's Games' - from attracting a diverse workforce to building fully accessible venues. Read all the latest news from London 2012

Thank you as always for your ongoing support.
