Jody Cundy claims gold and newcomer Louis Rolfe a bronze on day two of cycling action at the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

ParalympicsGB have added a further two cycling medals to their haul on day two of action at the Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

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."

Meanwhile, 19-year-old Louis Rolfe beat 46-year old Colombian veteran Alvaro Galvis Becerra in the men's C2 3000m pursuit bronze medal race.

ParalympicsGB ended the day second in the medal table with a haul of 12 golds, six silvers and nine bronzes.
