Double gold gets cyclists on road to victory

Rachel Morris and David Stone won a gold apiece for Britain on the roads this morning to add to ParalympicsGB’s cycling medal haul.

Surrey-based Morris, who is a hand-cycling world champion, dominated the field to win gold in the women's time trial (HCA/B/C) by nearly three minutes.

"I did my best and I am completely satisfied with this result,” she said. "It is a dream come true."

David Stone won the mixed individual time trial (CP1/2) in 22:14.86, over a minute faster Germany's Barbara Weise who took silver in 23:28.33. The Czech Republic's Marketa Mackova won bronze.

Stone said: "I am very happy and I want to thank all the people who supported me. It is a very hard course with a lot of curves and hills. Three men were in front of me but at last I overtook all of them."

Darren Kenny won silver in the men's individual time trial (CP3) and more medals are expected this afternoon from Simon Richardson in men’s individual time trial (LC3) and Sarah Storey in the women’s time trial (LC1-2/CP4).
