Paris 2024 Paralympics: Seven of the best stories from a brilliant Games

ParalympicsGB’s squad consisted of a wide range of experienced competitors, as well as a look at the next generation, who delivered plenty of medals.

Sarah Storey extended her run as Great Britain’s most-decorated Paralympian. At 46, she won golds in the women’s C4-5 road race and C5 time trial, taking her to 19 Paralympic golds and 30 medals in total.

Hannah Cockroft, 32, competing at her fourth career Games, continued her perfect record of T34 gold medals, winning over 100 and 800 metres. All nine of her medals have been gold.

While Storey and Cockroft were among the familiar faces to win medals, there was also a look to the future.

On the same day, there were silver medals for the teenage duo of Iona Winnifrith and Bly Twomey. Winnifrith finished second in the women’s SB7 100m breaststroke final, while Twomey took Para-table tennis bronzes in the women’s singles and doubles events, the latter alongside Felicity Pickard.

Winnifrith, aged 13, and Twomey, 14, were among those to show that ParalympicsGB has a bright future.
