Greater Manchester’s Active Travel Commissioner Dame Sarah Storey has claimed her eighteenth Olympic Gold this morning in Paris
She beat the French hope Heidi Gaugain in the road cycling time trial to win her 18th Paralympic gold medal.
I’m utterly delighted,” said Storey. “I just feel so, so proud.
“You race the course that you get and you prepare for that, and I knew well in advance what it was like. To have friends and family here, to see the flags, to have the cheer off the start ramp, it was just brilliant and I’m so pleased.”
Storey made history before she got to the start gate as the first British Paralympian to feature at nine Games.
