Kieran Behan
Kieran Behan (born 19 April 1989) is an Irish artistic gymnast born to parents Phil and Bernie.〔(Gymnast finances leap to Olympics with cake sales and car washes ) Independent.ie, 13 January 2012; Retrieved 13 January 2012〕 He is the second ever Irish gymnast to qualify for the Olympics (the first being Barry McDonald in 1996).
==Early life==
At the age of 10, a benign tumour was found in Behan's leg and complications from the surgical operation to remove the tumour left him in a wheelchair. 15 months later, defying the odds, he returned to his gymnastics training. Not long after his return, he fell off the high bar during a training session and suffered a head injury which resulted in a brain injury and damage to his inner ear affecting his balance and co-ordination skills. He was once again confined to a wheelchair, and had to relearn simple skills to sit up and move his head. The injuries left him unable to train for 3 years, and doctors told him they did not expect him to be able to walk again much less be able to do gymnastics.〔〔(Irish Gymnastics: Kieran Behan wins bronze at FIG World Cup ) Full Twist, 24 September 2011〕〔(Kieran Behan defies odds to achieve his Olympic dream ) BBC Sport, 12 January 2012〕〔(Five things you might not know about Kieran Behan ) Joe.ie, 12 January 2012〕
Despite these setbacks, Behan returned to gymnastics and gained several awards as a Junior gymnast.〔
