1 minute 9.545 seconds: Kadeena Cox rides to a world record and her seventh world title

At the Para Cycling Track World Championships in Apeldoorn, Netherlands, Great Britain's Kadeena Cox crossed the line in 1 minute 9.545 seconds — a new world record — to win the C4 1km gold medal. It is the 35-year-old's seventh world title and her first since 2024, and she had to endure a nervous wait trackside while Australia's Tara Neyland made her own attempt before the British flag was draped around her shoulders. Cox is a five-time Paralympic gold medallist. Britain's James Ball also defended his men's tandem title alongside new partner Aaron Pope.
