[13] Together they competed in both road and track cycling disciplines, and medalled in all four of their events. The first of these medals, a bronze, came on 30 August in the women's 1000 m time trial B. A second medal, the duo's first Paralympic gold, came two days later in the women's 3000 m pursuit B. In the road time trial B on 4 September they claimed silver, beating fellow British pairing Lora Fachie and Corrine Hall, who won bronze.
