Dunlevy, who has Donegal connections, put in an unbelievable performance to complete the women’s B individual time trial in 38:16.58.
This is Dunlevy’s second Paralympic medal this year, having won silver with Eve McCrystal in the Women’s B 3000m Individual Pursuit with a time of 3:21.315.
In 2023, Dunlevy partnered with new pilot Linda Kelly to win double gold at the 2023 UCI World Championships.
Dunlevy, a former rower competing for Great Britain, was born in Crawley and her father John is from a well known Mountcharles family. She is a member of the Donegal Bay Cycling Club.
Paris is Dunlevy’s fourth Paralympic Games and Kelly’s first.
