Gold went to Germany’s Lindy Ave in a world-record time of one minute, with Russian Margarita Goncharova second and Colombian Darian Faisury Jimenez Sanchez claiming bronze. Leeds-born Cox, who last week defended her C4-5 cycling time trial crown, was 1.16 seconds off the pace, crossing the line in a season’s best 1:01.16. Ave’s winning time shaved 0.71secs off the Paralympic record Cox set in Brazil, while lowering the previous global best of Hungary’s Luca Ekler by 0.27secs.
