Positive stereotypes of people with Disabilities

Storey was born Sarah Bailey in Manchester without a functioning left hand after her arm became entangled in the umbilical cord in the womb and the hand did not develop as normal.

In the media the news article do not tend to pick up on her disability. This is because of her stays. To the public she is a role model that brings much reputation to the country. Her fans and the public are proud and honoured to have her represent the country because she is a gold medalist. By this British people will feel this superior above other countries because the athlete that wins and dominates the sport 'belongs' to the brits.

What a Storey! Cycling queen Sarah watches husband Barney grab gold, then pedals away to one of her own

• It's the 34-year-old's ninth Paralympic gold and her 20th medal overall, spanning six Games

• Her husband Barney also won gold, piloting the visually impaired tandem one-kilometre time-trial.

• Jody Cundy wins bronze in the 4km individual pursuit.

• Jon-Allan Butterworth wins a silver medal in the Men's Individual C5 Pursuit.

The example in red is one taken from the Daily Mail. In this we touch on nothing about her disability. This good to a sense where we see that the likes of disabled people are adapting. But it can be argued that this is because of this persons status. She is a British athlete meaning she carries much weight on her shoulders. This is also because she is a Gold medalist. If she a ordinary person without the status she has then maybe it can be argued that the press would of picked up on.
