Australian para-cyclist Lauren Parker has become world champion in a second sport, striking hand-cycling gold at the world championships after shining in the para-triathlon over recent years.
The 34-year-old continued the para-cycling team's success story on the roads of Dumfries and Galloway on Wednesday after their squad had won four golds and 13 medals on the track at the Sir Chris Hoy velodrome in Glasgow.
But the Aussies' cycling track team finished their eight-day program without a victory after Matt Richardson's silver in the keirin in the penultimate event seemed to sum up their campaign of near-misses.
