The world cup isn't over, London 2012 Olympics is still two years away, but this weekend, two interesting dribblings of news about the 2014 Winter Paralympics are coming through.

One of the stories is about how the former MOD owned company Qinetiq have helped create a new technologically advanced sit-ski for two recently disabled ex-servicemen who hope to be taking part in the games:

New lighter materials, better aerodynamics and a rather sexy missile shape is the key. Great to see the military supporting injured soldiers in this way.

The other story is

The ex Beatle wife and vegan convert wants to be a further inspiration to her amputee mentees and get to the same games as the above servicemen, to be held in Sochi, Russia in four years time.

You may know her for a spot of ice dancing on reality TV but our Heth has been skiing for years ... and claims to be any good.

I wonder who'll make it?

If you've had sporting support from the military towards your rehab then tell us in the comments below. And what's your feeling about Heather? Will she or won't she make it? How strong is our Paralympic ski team? Does she stand a chance?
