Sarah Storey beat French hope Heidi Gaugain in the road cycling time trial to win her 18th Paralympic gold medal.
Britain's Sarah Storey described the Paris Paralympics cycling time trial course as "appalling" after winning her 18th Games gold medal.
Storey beat French hope Heidi Gaugain, then said athletes had appealed to Games organisers about the course length for the women's race but heard nothing back. "I've had to put that aside and focus on what I could control, because I couldn't control the race distance. But I hope they never do this to the women again, because it has been appalling.
Storey, who is solely competing in road events at Paris 2024, is taking part in her ninth Games - the most ever for a British athlete.Among active Paralympians, Belarusian swimmer Ihar Boki has overtaken Storey in terms of most gold medals won in a career, reaching 21 after five victories in Paris.
