Dame Sarah Storey has won her twelfth Paralympic gold medal at the Rio games to become Great Britain's most decorated female Paralympian, surpassing Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson.
The 38-year-old cyclist, who won four gold medals at the London 2012 Paralympics, was favourite to win the title over compatriot Crystal Lane. And she passed Lane after just 1,300 metres of the 3,000m C5 individual pursuit final.
Storey, who went into these games equal with Grey-Thompson with eleven gold medals, was only fourteen years old when she first competed at the 1992 Barcelona games as a swimmer, where she won two gold medals, three silvers and a bronze. She would compete at three more Paralympics in the pool in which she won ten further medals including three golds, Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004, before switching to cycling in 2005 after a series of ear infections.
Storey is competing in three further events during the course of these games, as she chases GB's all-time most decorated Paralympian, swimmer Mike Kenny who won sixteen gold and two silver medals over four games between 1976 and 1988.
