Storey strikes gold
Related Articles
12 January 2008
Five-time Paralympian Storey, competing in her first Games on the bike, won the women's LC1/LC2/CP4 individual time-trial in 37 minutes 16.65 seconds for Britain's third road-race gold of the day after Rachel Morris and David Stone triumphed.
Britain won 12 titles from 13 events at the Laoshan Velodrome earlier this week, and were victorious in three out of five races at the Ming Tomb Reservoir on Friday.
Multiple track champions Darren Kenny and Simon Richardson were beaten to silvers in their respective races.
Storey was the first rider on the course and set a blistering pace, but then had to watch as nine others attempted to overtake her.
But the 30-year-old from Manchester, who made her Paralympic debut in Barcelona aged 14, winning two gold medals, three silvers and one bronze in the pool under her maiden name Bailey, held on for her second victory after she won the women's LC1-2/CP4 individual pursuit on Wednesday.
