Victory in the Velodrome

Britain continued their bid for Paralympic success with outstanding performances in the cycling.

The team have claimed 9 out of 10 possible gold medals in the Velodrome, with only Sarah Storey and Rik Waddon missing out on first place.

Mark Bristow took gold in the men's LC1 one-kilometre time-trial with a world-record-breaking time of one minute 08.873 seconds.

He follows two-time gold medal winner Darren Kenny who defended his Athens title with victory in the men's CP3 one-kilometre time-trial to claim his second gold of the games.

Kenny, who suffers from cerebral palsy, was victorious on day one of the Paralympics, and continued his success with a second gold and the eighth for the GB team in the Velodrome.

Fellow Brit Rik Waddon took silver in the same event.

Waddon said: "I saw the time Darren posted the other day and that pushed me as I knew I needed a quick time."

Gold

Simon Richardson also won his second gold of the games in the LC3 men's individual pursuit.

The 41-year-old stormed past race leader, Japan's Masaki Fujita to win with a time of 3:49.214.

Elsewhere in the Velodrome, ex-Paralympic swimmer Jody Cundy took gold in the men's LC2 one-kilometre-time-trial with a world-record-breaking time of 1:05.466.

The 29-year-old previously won three titles in the Paralympic pool, but switched to cycling in 2006.

He said: "The time I came up with, I cant believe it-it's unbelievable."

Tandem team Aileen McGlynn and Ellen Hunter also claimed their second gold medal of the games; in the women's B&VI 1-3 individual pursuit.

They finished in 3:39.809, nearly two seconds clear of silver medallists Lindy Hou and Toireasa Gallagher of Australia.

McGlynn said: "All the hours of training we do, all the hard work is all worth it on these days."

Title

Britain came up trumps in the equestrian as Anne Dunham defended her individual test grade Ia title - for the most disabled riders - in Hong Kong.

Her team-mate Sophie Christiansen took silver.

Britian also increased their medal tally in the Watercube as four-time Paralympian Sachsa Kindred claimed gold in the SE7 100m.

The 30-year-old defended his Sydney and Athens title to win gold for the thrid time in both the men's SE7 100m breaststroke and S6 100m backstroke individual medley.

Jim Anderson won his second medal of the games, bronze in the men's S2 100m freestyle while Nyree Lewis took silver in the women's S6 100m backstroke final.

Anthony Stephens also picked up a bronze in the men's S5 200m freestyle.

Other medals came in athletics with silver medals in the men's T36 100m and women's T12 100m.

Bath student Ben Rushgrove finished behind Ukraine's Roman Pavlyk while Libby Clegg also finished second in her event.

Nigel Murray took the silver in Boccia - a technical game similar to boules.

Meanwhile, Shelly Woods was forced to give up her silver medal won in the T54 5000m final.

The race has been rescheduled, following a pile-up involving six athletes in the final lap, despite the medal ceremony already having taken place.

Following their cycling success, Britain are now first place in the medal table with 12 golds, ahead of China's 11.
