Blaine Hunt got a potential Great Britain medal rush in the cycling under way on day two of the 2024 Paralympics as he won silver in the men’s C4-5 1,000m time trial.<\/b><\/p>\n
Making his Paralympic debut at 35, Hunt’s final time of 1:01.776 was beaten by only 0.126 seconds by Korey Boddington of Australia, who took gold.<\/p>\n
Bronze went to Spain’s Alfonso Cabello, who edged GB’s Jody Cundy into fourth.<\/p>\n
Cundy, 46, is a nine-time Paralympic medallist who has won a medal in every Games he has participated in, going back to 1996 in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
He has one more chance to keep that streak going, in the mixed team sprint on Sunday.<\/p>\n
“[It’s] just not to be. I gave it everything. I\u2019m not a million miles off my best here and I tried to back it up this afternoon,” Cundy told Channel 4. “I did pretty much the same time as this morning but everything I had in my legs is gone.<\/p>\n
“It would have been nice to be on the medal board, but we’ve got the team sprint in a couple of days so get all the focus back on that and we can come back because we’ve got Kadeena [Cox, who crashed in her final on Thursday<\/a>] with a point to prove.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
