Cyclist Sarah Storey has a chance to add to her 17 Paralympic gold medals after being selected for her ninth Games.
Great Britain's most successful Paralympian Sarah Storey says being selected for a ninth Games was a "pinch-me moment" after she was named on Monday in a 23-strong cycling squad for Paris 2024.
Unlike in her previous Games as a cyclist, Storey will not compete on the track and will instead focus on the time trial and road race events which will take place in Clichy, near Paris."It is a pinch-me moment and is a dream I didn’t know I had as a kid. "These Games will have two different courses so every time you get on the start line it is a different challenge that lies ahead and you need different skills.
The team also includes current world champions Lizzi Jordan and Danni Khan, Daphne Schrager, Archie Atkinson, Blaine Hunt, Fin Graham and Fran Brown. "Now I know what performances to go through to get that out of myself, so hopefully I can enjoy the atmosphere more, soak it up and experience the Games for what it is.Having finished second behind team-mates Van Gass and Watson in the individual pursuit and road race respectively, Graham wants to go one better in Paris.
