The other nations taking gold medals on Friday were Austria, Great Britain (three), Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fresh from winning the rainbow jersey in Thursday\u2019s Scratch Race, Emily Petricola set about the Women\u2019s C3 1km time trial. The Australian rode first and landed a world record time of 1:14.630<strong> (<\/strong>48.237km\/h), which no-one else could match. The 2024 UCI World Championships medalists Mel Pemble of Canada and Aniek Van Den Aarssen the Netherlands  took 2025\u2019s remaining medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83c\udf08\ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddfa EMILY PETRICOLA \ud83c\udde6\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udf08<br><br>The Australian pulls out the perfect performance in the Women C3 1km Time Trial and takes the UCI World Champion title. \ud83e\udd47<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Rio2025?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Rio2025<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BJkYKmvvLw\">pic.twitter.com\/BJkYKmvvLw<\/a><\/p>&mdash; UCI Para-Cycling (@UCI_paracycling) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UCI_paracycling\/status\/1979257148426133529?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 17, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ricardo Ten Argiles \u2013 Thursday\u2019s winner of the Men\u2019s C1 1km time trial \u2013 came out with a similar \u2018shock and awe\u2019 mentality in Friday\u2019s MC1 scratch race.

Switzerland\u2019s Flurina Rigling, who set a world record in Thursday\u2019s time trial without winning the event, put things right, lapping the field to take the C2 scratch race rainbow bands.

The Dutchman claimed the rainbow jersey, winning with the day\u2019s fastest time, 12.077.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Australia\u2019s Korey Boddington set a world record in the Men\u2019s C3 1km time trial, with 1:02.848 (57.281km\/h). Would the last two riders \u2013 Finlay Graham of Great Britian and Devon Briggs of New Zealand \u2013 unseat the Aussie? Graham came in +5.528 before Briggs took another 2 second off the Briton\u2019s time to confirm the silver medal. But Boddington was in a class of his own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Men\u2019s C4 sprint final brought Jody Cundy of Great Britain head-to-head with Jarno Thierens of the Netherlands  and Michael Shippley of Australia. It was Cundy who had the power and the positioning, taking the win, then celebrating with a Union Flag on his warm-down circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The C4 Women 1km time trial was the final time trial of the day. Australia\u2019s Tara Neyland went quickest, setting another world record: 1:10.806 (50.843km\/h). With just two riders left to go \u2013 Erin Normoyle (AUS) and Kadeena Cox (GBR) \u2013 Neyland knew she had another medal, but which colour? Normoyle came into provisional third position, then Cox set off quickest but couldn\u2019t hold the pace, and settled for silver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the thrilling Men\u2019s C5 elimination, after France\u2019s Mathis Tiphaigne was eliminated in bronze medal position, the spectators were treated to a head-to-head between Austria\u2019s Franz-Josef L\u00e4sser and Brazil\u2019s Lauro Cesar Mouro Chaman. The crowd cheered when the home rider attacked all-in\u2026 but it was L\u00e4sser who got the better in the final lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday\u2019s final event, the WB 4km individual pursuit, pitted New Zealand\u2019s Emma Foy and pilot Jesse Hodges against Britain\u2019s Paralympic Champions Sophie Unwin and Jenny Holl. The Kiwis broke their own world record in qualification, and set off in the gold final for another best ever time\u2026 but the British tandem fought back and took the lead with two of 16 laps to go, and held on to take the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazil\u2019s Rio Olympic Velodrome delivered more fantastic racing, more world records, and no fewer than 12 World Champions<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4830,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[135],"class_list":["post-4829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsbeat","tag-para-cycling"],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling_compressed.jpg",2400,1600,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling_compressed-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling_compressed-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling_compressed-768x512.jpg",640,427,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling_compressed-1024x683.jpg",640,427,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling_compressed-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling_compressed-2048x1365.jpg",2048,1365,true],"morenews-large":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling_compressed-825x575.jpg",825,575,true],"morenews-medium":["https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling_compressed-590x410.jpg",590,410,true]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/category\/newsbeat\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Newsbeat<\/a>","tag_info":"Newsbeat","comment_count":"0","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/para-cycling_compressed.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4829","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4829"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4829\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4832,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4829\/revisions\/4832"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4829"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4829"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.infinitysport.asia\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4829"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
