Storey becomes most successful British female Paralympian after another gold

Dame Sarah Storey climbed the steep bank inside the Rio velodrome to embrace husband Barney and daughter Louisa in the crowd after becoming Great Britain's most decorated female Paralympian, a record which has been 24 years in the making. 


Storey has now won 23 Paralympic medals, 12 of them gold, to break a record she previously shared with legendary wheelchair racer Tanni Grey-Thompson, who won 11 golds. This was the first time Storey had won a Paralympic title since giving birth to three-year-old Louisa and a moment she shared with her young family.
