Summer Paralympics appearances (overview) | |
Sarah Storey, competing in her eighth Paralympics, won Great Britain's first gold medal of the Games, on the first day of competition, in the women's individual pursuit C5 cycling. It was Storey's fifteenth Paralympic gold medal, leaving her one behind Mike Kenny's British record of sixteen.[4] On 31 August, Storey won her second gold of the Games in the Women's C-5 road time trial, winning her sixteenth Paralympic gold medal, and becoming Great Britain's most successful ever Paralympian, matching Mike Kenny's record of 16 gold medals, but exceeding his record in silver and bronze medals. Days later, Storey's third gold of the Games in the women's C4–5 road race moved her clear in the national all-time list on 17 gold medals.
