Paralympics Great Sarah Storey Retires at 48 and Won't Chase a 10th Games in Los Angeles
The 48-year-old leaves as Britain’s most successful Paralympian with 19 golds and 39 world titles, saying she can have more impact off the bike.
- On Thursday, Dame Sarah Storey announced her retirement from international competition, ending a 34-year Paralympic career and ruling out a bid for the 2028 Los Angeles Paralympics.
- Rather than physical limitations, Storey cited a desire to advocate for Para sport, believing she can have a "greater impact off my bike" pursuing new roles.
- The most successful British Paralympian, Storey retires with 24 medals, including 19 golds across swimming and cycling, spanning nine Paralympic Games since 1992.
- Lord Sebastian Coe, London 2012 organising committee leader, praised Storey's contributions while validating her concern that Para sport has "stalled somewhat since London 2012."
- Storey describes Para sport as at a "critical stage," focusing on advocacy ahead of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, where Para events are now integrated into competition.
