Katie-George Dunlevy was unable to hold off the challenge of Great Britain's Sophie Unwin as she finished second in the Paralympic women’s B road race, securing a third medal of the Paris Games in the process.It was a reverse result of the Tokyo event - where Ireland led home Team GB - with Dunlevy and pilot Linda Kelly, who crossed the line in first for six of the seven laps, pushing hard throughout with Unwin and Jenny Holl keeping them company along the way.The Irish tandem attacked a number of times in an attempt to break away but failed to drop their direct opponents who seemed somewhat perplexed with the aggressive strategy.The gold medal looked like it was only ever going to one of two pairs apart from 90 minutes into the race when British pair Lora Fachie and pilot Corrine Hall came through and attacked in an attempt to give the two Team GB tandems a tactical edge.Ireland’s response was strong with Fachie and Hall dropping off again just a few kilometres later.Dunlevy and pilot Kelly were still in the lead as the line came into focus, but it was Unwin and Holl who had the energy reserved for the sprint in a time of 2:37.26, with Dunlevy and Kelly three seconds behind.Fachie and Hall took bronze, 1 minute 35 seconds behind their compatriots.It's a third medal of the Games for Dunlevy who took gold in the time trial with Kelly on Wednesday and silver in the B 3000m individual pursuit with Eve McCrystal last Sunday.
