Sarah Storey has made history as Great Britain’s most successful Paralympian of all time after winning the C4-5 road race on Day 9 at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
The 43-year-old battled heavy rain for much of the 66km race to cross the line first and into the record books at the Fuji International Speedway.
It was her 17th Paralympic gold medal, the most any British athlete has ever won before, and broke swimmer Mike Kenny’s record of 16. Storey, who has also amassed a staggering 37 world titles in cycling and swimming, punched the air with delight as the recognition of her monumental achievement sunk in.
And it's not just Sarah Storey celebrating. Teammates Benjamin Watson and Finlay Graham snagged both gold and silver in the C1-3 road race. Watson crossed the finish line at 2:04:23 whilst Graham came in second at 2:05.43. France's Alexandre Leaute clinched bronze. This is Leaute's second bronze at the Games after winning in the men's C2 time trial on August 31
