Sarah Storey has won Team GB's first gold medal at the London Paralympics in the C5 individual pursuit.

Storey overlapped her Polish opponent Anna Harkowska before the 2,000m mark to bring an early end to the race.

Storey posted a rapid opening 1,000m of 1:12.811 and was too good for Hardowska, taking gold for her eighth first-place Paralympics finish.

The former swimmer's race followed Crystal Lane in the C5, who could only manage fourth in her bronze medal final.
