Sarah's bidding to add to her 17 golds

The 46-year-old cyclist is renowned for her meticulous planning and will become the first athlete to represent GB at nine Paralympics, having started out as a schoolgirl swimmer at Barcelona in 1992.

Storey took her career tally to 17 golds surpassing the achievements of former swimmer Mike Kenny - with a trio of triumphs in Tokyo.

The last of those victories came at a deserted speedway circuit in the rain-soaked foothills of Mount Fuji - a stark contrast to being roared to success by a sun-drenched home crowd at London 2012.

Given her extensive 32-year experience of the Paralympics, mother-of-two Storey will be undaunted by whatever the French capital throws at her.

"I've competed internationally every year, even in the years when I had children," she said.
