Tokyo Paralympics: Sarah Storey wins 17th gold to become Britain's most successful Paralympian
Sarah Storey won her 17th Paralympic gold to become Great Britain's most successful Paralympian of all time.
In weather more akin to her home near Manchester, with rain and thick fog making visibility difficult at the start, Storey was in the front pack from the off, alongside Lane-Wright. But Lane-Wright hit the front of the chasers with a significant injection of pace and her burst made all the difference as the pack quickly caught up with Brachtendorf to leave five riders in contention for the medals at the end of the penultimate lap.
"My mum and dad said to me when I was 12, when I wasn't winning anything in school - I'd been swimming and couldn't make national age groups - and they kept saying to me 'focus on you Sarah, just focus on your best', and that's what I keep doing," Storey added.Watson claimed victory in the men's race, for his second Paralympic title in Tokyo, just moments after Storey and Lane-Wright crossed the line in the women's.
