![Sarah's bidding to add to her 17 golds](https://cdn.magzter.com/1583591992/1724306486/articles/cxw3nnuw61724308281102/SARAHS-BIDDING-TO-ADD-TO-HER-17-GOLDS.jpg)
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.
