Wisbech cyclist wins silver in cycling at Tokyo 2020
Jody Cundy became the first man to win medals at seven separate Paralympics.
Wisbech cyclist Jody Cundy has won a Paralympic silver medal as he attempted to defend the C4-5 1,000 metres title he won in Rio.
The 42-year-old, who became the first man to win medals at seven separate Paralympics, was beaten by Alfonso Cabello Llamas as the Spaniard set a new world record of one minute 1.557 seconds.
“I thought I’d be really disappointed with silver but I’ve just been beaten by the better man today,” said Cundy.
“I pulled out a brilliant time but Alfonso was excellent. I did the best performance I can on the day, but when you’re beaten by a performance like that you just have to take your hat off to him.”
He's previously won medals in both swimming and cycling at Paralympic games.
