Katie-George Dunlevy has taken home her third medal of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games having won silver in the Women's B Road Race competition today.

This marks Dunlevy's tenth-ever Paralympic medal since winning her first at the Rio 2016 Games.

It's certainly a Paralympic debut to remember for the New Ross native Linda Kelly, who has also picked up her second medal of the games after also piloting Dunlevy to gold in the Women's B Individual Time Trial.

The duo finished second just behind Great Britain's Sophie Unwin and pilot Jenny Holl.
