With a spectacular display of the grace, power and speed that has defined her glittering career, Dame Sarah Storey became Britain’s greatest female Paralympian in Rio de Janeiro last night.
The
38-year-old cyclist won her 12th gold medal with victory in the C5
3,000m individual pursuit – before finding her three-year-old daughter
Louisa in the crowd.
In the final she beat fellow Briton Crystal Lane, who had to settle for silver.
The victory
took Dame Sarah, who was born without a functioning left hand, past
Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson’s haul of 11 Paralympic golds.
Her total of Paralympic medals rose to 23 last night – 12 gold, eight silver and three bronze.
