British cyclist on track to become most decorated ParalympianCrystal Lane-Wright takes silver in C5 individual pursuit finalOne down, two to go. Dame Sarah Storey raced closer to Paralympic immortality in the Izu Velodrome on Wednesday as she breezed her way to gold in the C5 3,000m individual pursuit,
BREAKING her own world record in the process.
Storey is already one of the most garlanded athletes in
British history and is competing at her eighth Paralympic Games, itself a record. She now has 15 gold medals to her name, just one short of swimmer Mike Kenny’s all-time record for a British Paralympian. With two more events to come next week, two more in which the 43-year-old will be a strong favourite, that ultimate accolade is well within her sights.
