Britain’s Sarah Storey won her 19th career Paralympic title in the C4-C5 road race on Friday, September 6 in the suburbs of Paris, the last event she competed in at the Paris Paralympic Games. At 46, the para-cyclist born with a malformation of her left hand thus won her 30th medal since her Paralympic debut at the Barcelona Games in 1992. On the 14.2 km course located in Seine-Saint-Denis, near Paris, she dominated her opponents and beat Frenchwoman Heïdi Gaugain, 27 years her junior, by a handful of seconds. She thus leaves the Paris Paralympic Games with two gold medals.
