Great Britain achieved success at the Para-cycling Track World Championships held in the Netherlands, with multiple medal performances across various events.
Kadeena Cox, a 35-year-old British cyclist, captured her second gold medal of the championships in the women’s C4 sprint. During qualifying for the event’s first round, Cox set a world record with a time of 11.409 seconds. She advanced through the semifinals before competing in the final against Australia’s Tara Neyland. Cox secured victory in a closely contested race to claim her first individual sprint world title. Her performance continued a strong showing for the athlete, as she had previously won the C4 1km gold medal on Friday, also setting a world record in that event.
British cyclists earned additional gold medals in the tandem sprint competitions. In the men’s tandem sprint, James Ball and Aaron Pope won gold, marking their second championship victory after also triumphing in the 1km time-trial event. The women’s tandem sprint saw Sophie Unwin and Jenny Holl claim the title, extending their record to six world championships in the discipline.
The British contingent also secured medals across other disciplines. Lizzi Jordan and Anna Whitworth-Hay earned bronze in the women’s tandem sprint following a third-place decider against Germany. Silver medal finishes went to Elisabeth Simpson in the women’s C2 sprint, Archie Atkinson in the men’s C4 scratch race, and Fin Graham in the men’s C3 elimination event.
Great Britain’s overall medal count at the championships reached six golds, eight silvers, and five bronze medals.
