00:02 - 20th World Championships,
00:06 60 World Championship medals,
00:07 and 38 World Titles.
00:09 Do you even surprise yourself?
00:11 - Yeah, when we put it like that,
00:12 it feels really overwhelming.
00:14 - Are you competitive in everything you do?
00:17 - I think I'm pretty competitive in everything I do.
00:19 We've always been a fairly competitive family.
00:21 Board games.
00:22 - You don't meet someone every day
00:24 that's been competing for as long as she has
00:26 and winning as much as she has.
00:28 The most decorated female Paralympian of all time.
00:32 What a star.
00:33 - And what keeps you so motivated?
00:39 Is it the races that keep you going
00:41 or do you not mind the training?
00:43 - I absolutely love the training.
00:44 I'm very process driven.
00:46 Every time you get on a bike for a training session
00:48 or for a race, there's an opportunity to improve yourself.
00:50 - I think with Sarah, she's the type of person
00:52 where you explain how you would do it.
00:54 But obviously she has to be able to do that with one hand.
00:59 - I was born without a left hand or a functioning left hand.
01:02 I've got a little bit of a wrist
01:03 and I've got some of the carpal bones,
01:05 but they're mainly fused now.
01:07 I've got a little bit of a thumb joint,
01:08 but nothing that gives me any grip on the bars.
01:11 I've never really considered myself to have a disability.
01:13 I've never not been able to do something.
01:15 - What was the move into able-bodied competition like?
01:18 - So for me, they've just both gone hand in hand
01:20 across my whole career.
01:22 - You had countless success on the road as well.
01:24 Very cool.
01:25 (laughs)
01:26 - James Sarah Story to win here.
01:27 In Peterborough.
01:29 (upbeat music)
01:31 - I'm still getting faster, which I didn't really expect.
01:34 But that just goes to show you're never too old.
01:37 - Well, Sarah Story looks in great shape.
01:40 Such a legend of this sport.
01:43 - I fancy a coffee.
01:45 - Yeah, I know somewhere pretty lush for a coffee.
01:47 I think we should head there.
01:48 - Yeah.
01:49 Oh, you weren't joking.
01:50 This is a bit posh.
01:51 - We'll get changed.
01:52 I'll get used to put the coffee on.
01:53 - Yeah, and the cake.
