Great Britain won five medals, including three golds, on the final day of track cycling at the Paris 2024 Paralympics.
Unwin and Holl produced a stellar display, having trailed the Irish duo by more than a second after 2,000 metres - only to storm the final kilometre and win by over two seconds. Having triumphed at the previous Games in Tokyo, the mixed team sprint trio of Cox, Van Gass and Cundy retained their title in style in Paris.
The 33-year-old struggled with a calf injury, an eating disorder and a relapse in her multiple sclerosis in the build-up to this event, but overcame all that - plus her Thursday mishap - to claim a fifth Paralympic gold. But they were overhauled by Ball and his pilot Steffan Lloyd, who started slower in the finaland trailed their team-mates by half a second after 125m, but gradually reeled in Fachie and Rotherham with a time of 58.964s.
Unwin and Holl followed Ball's gold by confirming their ascension to the top of their discipline, having also become world champions in 2023.
