On a day of high expectations in paracycling, Britain’s women held up their end of the bargain, bringing home medals of all shades – one gold, two silver and a bronze – in a stacked day of time trials in the Parisian suburb of Clichy-sous-bois.
Dame Sarah Storey almost inevitably led the way, claiming the 18th gold medal of her Paralympic career in the C5 classification. Her success was followed by a bronze for Lora Fachie and silver medals for Fran Brown and Sophie Unwin, with the latter pushing herself to the physical limit alongside pilot Jenny Holl following their track gold earlier in the week.
