Katie George Dunleavy and Linda Kelly have claimed a gold medal for Team Ireland in the Women’s B Individual time trial.
Piloted by Kelly, the tandem bike of 42-year-old Dunlevy took gold in the 28.3km road time trial for a third consecutive Paralympics.
Wednesday afternoon’s win represents Dunlevy’s fourth Paralympic gold medal and seventh in total. The uniqueness of this latest medal and latest gold is that it is her first without Eve McCrystal in front of her.
McCrystal piloted Josephine Healion to fifth in the same event.
In continuing her utter dominance on the road, Dunlevy and Kelly powered across the line in 38:16.58, one minute and 23 seconds ahead of their closest challengers.
Team Ireland currently sit 42nd in the Paralympics' medal table with one gold, two silvers and two bronze medals.
