Sarah Storey, the 19-time Paralympic champion, announced her retirement from international competition on Thursday, ruling out a bid to compete at the 2028 Los Angeles Paralympics.
A Legacy of Excellence
Storey, 48, retires with 30 Paralympic medals from nine Games, making her the most successful British Paralympian. She won five Paralympic gold medals in swimming before adding 14 more golds in cycling.
Storey said her decision to step away was driven not by physical limitations but by a desire to take on a broader role in advancing para sport. "Physically, I fully believe that I could be on that start line in Los Angeles, confident of defending my two titles from Paris," she added.
