Storey rules out second attempt at hour record

Dame Sarah Storey has all but ruled out a second attempt at breaking the women's world hour record.

The 11-time Paralympic champion fell 563 metres short at the London Olympic velodrome last weekend, but the British rider has insisted that she isn't tempted to try again in the near future.

The 37-year-old is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "I won't be considering doing it anytime soon. If I ever did it again, it would be well after Rio."

The current mark is held by Dutchwoman Leontien Zijlaard-van Moorsel, who set the record in 2003.
