Further glory for multi-sport athlete.
Kadeena Cox smashed the world record as she retained her C4-5 500m time trial title at the Tokyo Paralympics.
The multi-sport athlete, who won gold in cycling and athletics at Rio 2016, crossed the line in 34.812, which was reduced to a real time of 34.433 due to her being in the lower of the two classifications.
Canadian Kate O’Brien – a fellow C4 rider, who held the previous global best – finished just over a second slower at the Izu Velodrome.
Back to Back Gold Medals! ??
