Over the last eight years, the Canadian men's team have dominated international wheelchair basketball to such an extent you could say they are the second major dynasty that China has seen.

They have won three out of four of the global titles since the Sydney Paralympics in 2000 and it is very hard to argue against Canada making history by becoming the first team to win three straight Paralympic golds in the event - a as our NBA friends would put it.

With - arguably the best player in the world - leading the way, they have taken the game to another level, but by doing so they have forced the rest of the world to raise their game as well.

Having competed at the last five Paralympic Games it will be a new experience for me to be a spectator in Beijing. However, as a commentator I will still be close to the action and be able to speak to the team each day.

Trying to pick out ones to watch from the incredibly strong British swimming team is difficult.

Just to qualify onto the team you had to be ranked at least sixth in the world and it is a team that topped the medal table at the 2006 IPC World Championships.
