And we couldn’t be more proud!
They claimed their sixth Paralympic Games medal in Paris after winning silver in the B 3,000m individual pursuit in tandem cycling.
This medal joins their haul of two golds and one silver won in Tokyo, as well as the one gold and one silver they secured in Rio.
After a decade cycling together, this race marked the end of their partnership. And it was certainly an emotional way to end.
