Katie-George Dunlevy and pilot Linda Kelly have won the silver medal in the women’s B road race – Dunlevy’s third Paralympic medal in Paris. 

The duo finished the 99.4km course in 2 hours and 37 minutes, following closely behind gold medallists Sophie Unwin and Jenny Holl from Britain. 

Ms Dunlevy and Ms Kelly already won a gold medal in the women’s B individual time on Wednesday and silver in the velodrome in the pursuit event last Sunday with Eve McCrystal.

“What an incredible achievement from both,” he wrote on X. 

This is Ms Dunlevy’s eighth Paralympic medal overall. 

Ireland has won six medals at the Games in Paris so far.
