Dame Sarah Storey’s passion for sport is without question, you don’t write yourself into Paralympic folklore without it.
The statistics speak for themselves - 17 Paralympic gold medals make her Britain’s most successful Paralympian - but on a unique Monday morning at the velodrome in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park it’s a different type of passion shining through. Alongside her own sporting career, and being the founder of her own cycling team, Storey is also the Principal of the ŠKODA DSI Cycling Academy.
What’s unique about this Monday is it’s the academy’s recruitment testing day. The academy, heading into its fourth year, is designed to further opportunities for female riders aged between 18-24, with a chance to learn and develop through their year-long inclusive programme.
