Between 1992 and the Paris 2024 Games, Britain’s Sarah Storey built an impressive track record in para swimming and then para cycling. At 46, she added an 18th gold medal to her collection on Wednesday, September 4, by dominating the C5 road time trial once again.
« It’s a short race, very short, it’s the shortest Paralympic time trial we’ve ever done, and I think it’s a real shame that para sport is not being showcased as it should be. “, said the 46-year-old runner after her time trial. The competitors in the C5 category, intended for athletes with an amputation or unilateral upper limb injury, set off on a 14.2 km course. I hope this will be the last time the clock is less than 20 kilometers. ” she said.
