Dame Sarah Storey has hit out at Paralympics organisers after winning gold in the women’s C5 time trial.
Dame Sarah Storey won her18th Paralympic gold medal on Wednesday The 46-year-old won the 18th Paralympic gold medal of her career on Wednesday after finishing first in the event for the fifth Games in a row. But Storey, who is Britain’s most-successful Paralympian of all time, was furious with the decision to shorten the women’s course around Clichy-sous-Bois in the eastern suburbs of France’s capital to 14.1 kilometres.
Dame Sarah Storey was furious over the decision to shorten her C5 race ‘It’s a real shame because you don’t get to showcase para-sport in the way that you want to, so I hope this is the only time it’s less than 20k. ‘You have to ask the organisers, but there’s plenty of time in the day for us to do two laps like the men. And having fought so hard for parity in women’s cycling, to not have it in para-cycling after what we had in Glasgow last year is a real disappointment.
