Bristow takes gold

Mark Bristow followed Darren Kenny to cycling gold as Great Britain's dominance of the Laoshan Velodrome track continued in Beijing on Tuesday.

Bristow triumphed in the men's LC1 one-kilometre time-trial in a world-record time of one minute 08.873 seconds for Britain's ninth gold of the Paralympic Games.

Kenny, from Dorset, won his second gold of the Games - defending a title won in Athens for a second time - with victory in the men's CP3 one-kilometre time-trial ahead of compatriot Rik Waddon.

Kenny clocked his second world record, finishing in a time of 1min 08.668secs, while Waddon won silver in 1min 11.161secs.

Bristow's triumph took Britain's track cycling medal tally to six golds and one silver - a phenomenal performance coming one month after their Olympic counterparts won seven out of 10 titles - while three swimming golds have been won at the National Aquatics Center.

Britain also won two athletics silver medals, with Ben Rushgrove and Libby Clegg finishing second in their respective 100metres finals.
