Cundy and Richardson see Gold

Former swimmer Jody Cundy won his fourth Paralympic gold – his first in cycling – in the LC2 1km time trial.

Cundy is a below-the-knee amputee having been born with a deformed foot which was amputated when he was just three-years-old.

He smashed his own world record by more than three seconds to triumph in 1:05.466.

Simon Richardson in the pursuit won his second gold medal of the Games.

Richardson, 41, who won the LC3/4 1km time-trial on Sunday, took gold in todays LC3 individual pursuit, beating Japan’s Masaki Fujita by six and a half seconds.

Richardson has no feeling down his left side after a road accident in 2001 while out riding in south Wales.
