Storey beats Gaugain at World Championships

Sarah Storey triumphed over her Paralympic competitor Heidi Gaugain to secure the gold medal at the 2024 Para-cycling Road World Championships held in Switzerland, specifically in the Women's C4-C5 individual time trial.

At 46 years old, Storey completed the 29.9km race in 45 minutes and 25 seconds, finishing 1 minute and 36 seconds ahead of Gaugain from France, marking her 38th Para world title.

This victory also served as a successful title defense for Storey, who had previously won this event in Glasgow the prior year. Storey expressed her delight to BBC Sport, stating, "I was really chuffed with how I performed today. The course was so much fun."
