Cundy claims gold, Rolfe bronze for GB

Jody Cundy - appearing at his sixth Paralympic Games - picked up his sixth gold medal in style, setting a new record of 1:02.473 in the men's C4-C5 1000m time trial.

The win came four years after his famous meltdown in London, when a faulty start cost him top place on the podium.

"It took a lot of energy to get to this point. This day has been on my mind for four years, ever since I kicked off in London and started throwing things about," Cundy told reporters afterwards.

"I've tried to put the past to the back of my head in the last few days but I was so nervous and that really hurt and I'm just glad that's over. I'm properly pleased and I'm totally exhausted. To do it on the big stage was important but I would have liked to win in a personal best."
