News summary

Dame Sarah Storey has won her 18th Paralympic gold medal in the women's C5 time trial at Paris 2024, further solidifying her status as Britain's most decorated Paralympian with a total of 29 medals. This victory, achieved with a time of 20 minutes and 22.15 seconds, puts her just three golds shy of the all-time record held by Belarusian swimmer Ihar Boki. Storey's remarkable career, which began as a swimmer in 1992, includes 29 World Championships and 21 European Championship titles. At 46, she reflects on the challenges of aging and the pressure to maintain her elite performance, especially after recovering from a severe injury sustained post-Tokyo. Storey's family has been a source of motivation, as she aims to provide her children with the experience of watching her compete live, something denied to them during the pandemic. As she prepares for more competitions, Storey remains focused and determined to add to her impressive medal tally.
