The British Paracyclists Jenny Holl and Sophie Unwin continued their gold medal winning spree at the UCI World Championships in Glasgow, winning the women’s B individual pursuit, only 24 hours after taking gold in the women’s B tandem time trial. In a memorable evening session, Jody Cundy took his 20th world title, Neil Fachie and Matthew Rotherham won gold in the B kilometre time trial and Jaco van Gass won the men’s C3 kilometre time trial.

Earlier in the day, Britain’s team pursuiters had recovered from the setbacks of day one in the Sir Chris Hoy velodrome with a storming qualifying performance in the women’s team pursuit from the quartet of Katie Archibald, Anna Morris, Josie Knight, and Elinor Barker, making a return to competition after having given birth to her first child.
