Sarah Storey has weighed in on the debate over accessibility in British society, saying: “If you give every disabled person the chance to thrive, they will.”
The most successful athlete in British Paralympic history, Storey extended her success to a ninth Games and an 18th gold medal on Wednesday, after winning the C5 time trial in Paris. But she said she was no stranger to the kind of situation which recently befell another Dame, Tanni Grey-Thompson, who was forced to abandon her wheelchair and crawl off a train due to a lack of assistance at London’s King’s Cross station.
