Sarah Storey’s dream of winning Olympic gold at London 2012 to add to the 18 Paralympic gold medals she has won in swimming and track cycling is over she has announced on her blog – just days after she helped played her part in Great Britain’s women’s team pursuit squad’s victory at the UCI World Cup Classics event in Cali, Colombia.
The news that she no longer figured in Team GB’s Olympic plans was broken to Storey before she’d even had a chance to get home and unpack her bags to add that latest gold medal to her trophy cabinet, the 34-year-old revealed in a post on her blog yesterday evening.
Official confirmation arrived this morning from British Cycling, which has said that Wendy Houvenaghel, Dani King, Laura Trott and Joanna Rowsell are the four riders who will now train for the team pursuit at London 2012, in which three riders compete, compared to four in the men’s event.

It’s a seriously strong team all round - click links for exactly how many World Champs etc, but here are the women. It’ll be interesting to see what happens about the team sprint - getting Reade back is very exciting - and can’t wait to see which selection of superstars makes up the Team Pursuit team! I’ll be there, cheering my head off!
