McCrystal and also tandem companion Katie-George Dunlevy took 2 gold medals and also a silver at the Games in late August and also very early September, contributing to the gold and also silver they secured in Rio in 2016, along with numerous Globe Championship medals. They were the most successful of the Irish Paralympic rivals in Tokyo.

"I'm simply going to take it year by year," she said, speaking at Cycling Ireland's national road championships. "I'll do the track worlds in March with Katie, certainly, and after that we will reach the summer season and I will just see how I keep going as an athlete. I want to see if I can hold on to what I have. I am older, so myself as well as Neil [trainer Neil Delahaye] will enjoy how I hop on, and then we will certainly choose based upon that.

"We will certainly see [concerning the future] I will see exactly how the body responds again to one more winter months and also we'll go year by year."
