Sports Personality contender Storey's year in photos

Sarah Storey is one of six contenders for the 2024 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.

Here BBC Sport takes a look at the Para-cyclist's year in five photos.

Competing at her ninth Paralympics - the most by a British athlete - in August, Storey won her 18th gold medal with victory in the C5 time trial. It marked the fifth successive Games at which she has won the event.

A second Parisian gold followed just two days later when Storey beat French rider Heidi Gaugain in a thrilling sprint finish to win the C4-5 road race for a fourth time. She crossed the line just inches ahead of Gaugain, who is 27 years her junior.

Storey now has 30 Paralympic medals, earned across two sports and nine Paralympic Games since she first competed as a swimmer at Barcelona 1992. Nineteen of those are gold - no British athlete has won more.

In September, Storey successfully defended her C4-C5 individual time trial title at the World Championships in Switzerland, again beating Gaugain to the title. She completed the 29.9km course in 45 minutes 25 seconds to finish one minute 36 seconds ahead of the Frenchwoman.

Six days later, she retained her C5 road race title on the wet streets of Zurich. It marked her 10th road race-time trial double at the World Championships, and her 39th cycling world title.
