Sarah Storey wins 15th Paralympic gold

(UTV | TOKYO) – Sarah Storey put in another world record-breaking performance on her way to claiming her 15th Paralympic title – Britain’s first gold of Tokyo 2020.

She smashed her world best by over four seconds in the C5 3,000m individual pursuit qualifying and caught team-mate Crystal Lane-Wright in the final.

The 43-year-old is just one behind Mike Kenny’s British record of 16 golds.

There was also silver for tandem pair Steve Bate and Adam Duggleby in the B 4,000m pursuit.

Bate and Duggleby were defending champions but the Dutch pair of Tristan Bangma and Patrick Bos, who set a world record in qualifying, caught the Britons in the final.
