The result sees Dunlevy retain her title, after winning gold in Rio de Janeiro (2016) and Tokyo (2021) with Eve McCrystal.

It takes Dunlevy’s Paralympic medal record to a remarkable total of seven, her first achieved without McCrystal.

Dunlevy and McCrystal claimed silver on Sunday in the Women’s B 3000m Individual Pursuit.
