Time to revive this thread for the cycling, I think. Megan Giglia, Dame Sarah and Stephen Bate have each set new world records in their qualifying rounds at the velodrome and have their finals tonight. Channel 4 covering it from 8:30pm and online here - http://paralympics.channel4.com/watch-live/

So chuffed we made 113 pages of track cycling - would be great to get such enthusiasm for the paras.

Kudos for Xeng there. 3000 metres with one leg.

First gold of the night! If she'd had faster opposition she could have gone on for improving on her world record from this afternoon.

Brilliant start.

Amazing ride by Fisher in the C4 pursuit there. Thought Horan was going to catch after 1000m, but Fisher closed the gap and pipped her right on the line.

There's a very evident difference between riders in each handicapping class, it seems.

Cycling 6 years, para sport 3 years, I think.

So, Sarah in the gold lane versus Crystal Lane in the silver in a few minutes?
