ParalympicsGB beat their London 2012 gold medal haul at Rio Games<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

ParalympicsGB beat their London 2012 gold medal haul at Rio Games<\/strong> :Great Britain\u2019s Paralympians have bettered their tally of 34 gold medals from London 2012 after Dame Sarah Storey won the C5 road time-trial to clinch the team\u2019s 35th gold on day seven of the Games in Rio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Storey completed the 20km course in 27min 22.42sec, beating Poland\u2019s Anna Harwoska into second by over a minute and a half. USA\u2019s Samantha Bosco won bronze with Great Britain\u2019s Crystal Lane in fourth. It is Storey\u2019s second gold of the Games after she won the 3km track pursuit, a victory which made her Britain\u2019s most successful Paralympian. Her latest gold is her 13th and her 24th Paralympic medal since her first Games in 1992 when she competed as a swimmer. Colin Lynch claimed Ireland\u2019s fourth medal of the Paralympics, with silver in the men\u2019s C2 road time-trial.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Tuesday evening, the sprinter Libby Clegg clinched the T11 200m crown. Stephanie Millward and Matt Wylie won gold in the pool after Georgie Hermitage, Hollie Arnold and Rob Davies claimed golds on the track, in the javelin and in the table tennis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Storey\u2019s gold takes ParalympicsGB\u2019s total medal haul to 35 as they close in on their target of 121 medals in Rio. The team won 42 gold medals in Beijing in 2008 and will aim to break that tally in the coming days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Great Britain\u2019s biggest successes have come in the athletics stadium and in the pool. The team have won 11 track and field gold medals, four silvers and six bronzes, while the swimmers have won nine golds, seven silvers and 10 bronzes. ParalympicsGB have now clinched cycling gold on nine occasions at this Games, also winning a pair of silvers and bronzes.<\/span><\/p>\n
