There were three gold medals for Britain on a triumphant day at the velodrome, starting with a gold and silver in the men’s B 1,000m time trial and finishing with a happy redemption gold for Kadeena Cox in the C1-5 750m team sprint.

Cox, who crashed out of her C4-5 500m time trial final on Thursday, falling at the first bend, rode the first lap in the sprint, followed by Jaco van Gass and Jody Cundy. It was the final gold of the track taken by three British cyclists who, for different reasons, had extra skin in the game.
