COVENTRY’S Kare Adenegan won silver for Great Britain competing in the T34 100m at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games.
Adenegan claimed her sixth Paralympic medal and first in Paris after finishing behind GB teammate Hannah Cockroft as part of a British one-two.
The 23-year-old won silver in a time of 17.99 seconds behind Cockroft (16.80 secs) and ahead of China’s Lan Hanyu (18.45 secs) who took bronze.
Adenegan said: “The time wasn’t amazing, I’d have liked a bit more, but it’s another Paralympic silver medal.
“It means a lot, I had moments where I was questioning what kind of form I’d be in coming here.
“To be a six-time Paralympic medallist is amazing and hopefully I might have another one by the end of the week.
“It is going to get harder to stay where I am as the depth improves but it does give me motivation.”
The Coventry athlete won silver in the 100m and 800m in Tokyo after claiming a silver and two bronze medals at Rio 2016.
Adenegan returns to the track in the 800m later this week.
