Born without a functioning left hand, Sarah Storey started her sports career in the pool, entering her first Paralympics at just age 14. In all, she won 20 gold medals in the pool, including five Paralympic golds, and broke 41 world records, before switching to cycling.

DAME SARAH STOREY – CYCLING CAREER

Throughout her cycling career, she would attempt the UCI Hour Record, win a stage of the Tour de Bretagne, medal in the National Time Trial Championships, win the able-bodied National Points Race title, gain a world record at the 2014 World Track Championships, participate in an unprecedented eight Paralympic games…and have two children. And she isn’t planning on stopping there, calling herself a “spring chicken” when it comes to the Paralympic games.

Sarah competed at the 2024 Paris games where she picked up a Gold Medal in the Women’s Road Race, and another Gold in the Women’s Road Time Trial, cemented her as the most decorated female Paralympian.

Unsurprisingly, given her astonishing career, honours, awards and accolades have flooded her way. In 2008 she was nominated for the prestigious Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year with a Disability and for the 2012 BBC Sports Personality of the Year; she would go on to be named The Sunday Times’ Disability Sportswoman of the Year in 2020.
