The Rio Paralympics is closing fast and the IPC European Championships is the perfect stage to show off your skills and lay down a marker for your rivals. Olivia Breen has put a niggling toe injury behind her and started the outdoor season with several fireworks on the track and in the sandpit.The 19-year-old Sky Academy Sports Scholar has a busy schedule in Grosseto, Italy, competing in the 100m, 200m, long jump and 4x100m relay and is part of a 49-person strong GB team.She first competes on Sunday in the 200m. Here are Olivias thoughts on preparation for the Euros and her ongoing quest to make Rio....I cannot believe that the European Championships have come around so quickly. The season is going by so quickly. Its amazing and before we know it Rio will be here!My season has got off to a really positive start. Im so happy to have personal bests (PB) in the 100m and long jump so early on and I know I have more to give in both events which is really exciting and shows all the hard sessions in the winter are paying off. A teaser for the Sky TV doc on Olivia Breen available On Demand I competed at Newham last weekend. It was a really hot and beautiful day and I am so pleased to have got a PB in the long jump. I was happy but was a bit annoyed because I achieved the mark by jumping about 10cm before the board!Its still great to know I have a big jump inside me and hopefully it will all come together in Italy.I also ran a 200m in Newham. I made a few mistakes in that race but still got a pretty good time so hopefully I will run a better race in Italy and achieve a PB and hopefully a medal.Its very exciting getting ready for this event. It will be a good indicator on how other athletes are doing in the run-up to Rio and show me where I need to make improvements. I love Italy - the food is amazing, the weather is beautiful and the people are really friendly so it should be great. Olivia (second right) will be running in the 100m, 200m and relay in Italy It will also be good to have support out there. My parents are coming out with my long jump coach Jules and also Ellie and Sophy from Sky Sports will be there. It will be great to see familiar faces and I hope I can make the trip worthwhile for them by performing well.Most of my time over the last few weeks has been spent training and there hasnt been much time for fun. I did, however, watch my twin brother Dan perform in London last week.He writes and performs his own songs and I was really proud to see him in a pub in Shoreditch which was great fun. Olivia has been working hard on her endurance during the winter I like being able to support him as both my brothers are always really supportive of me.My final session before the Europeans was with my younger brother for his PE lesson at his school in Portsmouth so that was fun. I wanted to do some bend practice for the 200m so hopefully I wont make the same mistakes as I did last weekend.Olivias schedule in Italy:Sunday: 200m finalMonday: Long jumpTuesday: Day off!Wednesday: 100m finalThursday: 4x100m relayKeep across the @SkyScholarship twitter account for updates throughout the European Championships.WHATS COMING UP FOR OUR SCHOLARS11-12 JUNE: Siobhan OConnor, Mare Nostrum, Barcelona10-16 JUNE: Olivia Breen, IPC Athletics European Champs in Italy15 JUNE: Holly Bradshaw, Welsh Open23-26 JUNE: Lucy Garner, National Road Cycling Champs, Stockton-on-Tees 24-26 JUNE: Holly Bradshaw, Jessica Judd at British Championships, Birmingham25-26 JUNE: Quillan Isidore, British BMX Round 7 & 8, Burgess Park Also See: About the Scholarship Meet the athletes Blogs Videos Galleries Air Jordan 1 Italia . - The Chicago Bears have agreed to a one-year contract with free-agent centre Brian de la Puente.
