Amanda Reid has broken her own world record to win Australia’s third track cycling Paralympic gold medal.
The 25-year-old clocked 38.487 seconds on Friday morning to win the C1-3 500m time trial at the Izu Velodrome and was the only rider to go under 39 seconds.
The Rio Games silver medallist, who has cerebral palsy, broke the 38.918 world record for the C2 class she set last November at Brisbane’s Anna Meares Velodrome.
Dutch rider Alyda Norbruis won silver with 39.002 and China’s Qian Wangwei was third in 41.403.
Qian also broke the world record for the C1 class.
