Cox gets her golden redemption to seal GB cycling's medal rush

Cox, who crashed out of her C4-5 500m time trial final on Thursday, falling at the first bend, rode the first lap in the sprint, followed by Jaco van Gass and Jody Cundy. It was the final gold of the track taken by three British cyclists who, for different reasons, had extra skin in the game.

Cox had called the fall a "nightmare", while Van Gass, who won gold in the C3 3,000 individual pursuit, had been disappointed with fourth in the C1-31,000m time trial, despite breaking his own world record. Cundy, fourth in the C4-5 1,000m time trial, now keeps his record of winning a medal at each of his eight Paralympic Games - a ninth career gold in Paris, and this one containing some metal from the Eiffel Tower. The three shared a hug at the end, draped in a union flag.

For Cox, it had been a hurdle just to get back on the bike. "I was just disappointed in myself, I knew I was mentally not in a good place and I didn't want to get on the start line and let the boys down, I thought it was better to let someone else [do it] who would be a safer ride."
