Hunt wins Paralympic silver as Cundy misses out
Blaine Hunt got a potential Great Britain medal rush in the cycling under way on day two of the 2024 Paralympics as he won silver in the men’s C4-5 1,000m time trial.
Making his Paralympic debut at 35, Hunt’s final time of 1:01.776 was beaten by only 0.126 seconds by Korey Boddington of Australia, who took gold.
Bronze went to Spain’s Alfonso Cabello, who edged GB’s Jody Cundy into fourth.
Cundy, 46, is a nine-time Paralympic medallist who has won a medal in every Games he has participated in, going back to 1996 in Atlanta.
He has one more chance to keep that streak going, in the mixed team sprint on Sunday.
Fellow Brit Archie Atkinson finished fifth in the final, with GB targeting several medals on Friday.
GB are guaranteed a gold and silver in the men’s C3 3,000m individual pursuit, as Jaco van Gass and Fin Graham race in the final.
Sophie Unwin, Lizzie Jordan and Lora Fachie have all reached the women’s B 1,000m time trial final, while Matthew Robertson races in the men’s C2 3,000m individual pursuit bronze medal race.
