Dame Sarah Storey stretched her record-breaking exploits to 18 Paralympic gold medals with victory in the women’s C5 time trial at Paris 2024.

The 46-year-old wrote her name into the history books at Tokyo 2020 by claiming a trio of titles to surpass Mike Kenny as Great Britain’s most successful Paralympian.

At the ninth Games of a remarkable career which began as a swimmer at Barcelona in 1992, Storey further cemented her legacy in the eastern suburbs of Clichy-sous-bois.

She completed the 14.1km course in 20 minutes and 22.15 seconds, 4.69 secs ahead of French silver medallist Heidi Gaugain, with Australian rider Alana Forster third.

The victory maintains Storey’s 100 per cent Games record on the bike, which began at Beijing in 2008 and now spans 13 races, to take her overall Paralympic medal tally to 29, including 16 in the pool.
