Dame Sarah Storey on Wednesday won her 13th Paralympic gold, with her victory in the C5 road time-trial in Rio taking Great Britain beyond their gold medal haul from London 2012.

ParalympicsGB ended Tuesday's sixth day of competition with 34 gold medals, equalling the haul from the 11 days of competition four years ago in London. And Storey delivered the 35th.

The 38-year-old became Britain's most successful female Paralympian when her 12th gold in the C5 individual pursuit saw her overtake wheelchair racer Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson's haul of 11 gold medals.

And Storey added her 13th with a dominant win in the 20-kilometres road time-trial at Pontal.

Storey, who won her first Paralympic gold as a 14-year-old swimmer in Barcelona in 1992, was almost a minute ahead of her nearest rival at the halfway mark.

And she claimed a commanding win in 27 minutes 22.42 seconds.

Anna Harkowska of Poland was second in 28mins 52.79secs, more than 1:30 behind.

Storey's British team-mate Crystal Lane was fourth in 29:37.23.

Colin Lynch claimed Ireland's fourth medal of the Paralympics, with silver in the men's C2 road time-trial.
