Tokyo Paralympics: ParalympicsGB selects a record percentage of female athletes

Dame Sarah Storey is the most decorated athlete on the team, after winning 14 gold, eight silver and three bronze medals in swimming and cycling since making her Games debut at Barcelona 1992

Great Britain will have its highest-ever percentage of female athletes competing at the Tokyo Paralympics.

There will be 100 women among the 227 athletes - 44% of the party - representing ParalympicsGB across 19 sports at the Games, which run from 24 August to 5 September.

That is a 4% increase in British female representation from Rio 2016.

"It's a milestone we should all be incredibly proud of," ParalympicsGB chef de mission Penny Briscoe said.

"I feel very confident that this will be a highly competitive ParalympicsGB team that will inspire the nation once again."
