McGlynn/Hunter Smash WR to Grab GoldThe

McGlynn, who scooped gold in the 1km tandem on Thursday, insisted she didn’t
believe she was capable of beating the record. “We
are very surprised,” said the 34-year-old world champion. “We didn’t think we
would break a world record.  McGlynn and Hunter celebrate with coach Chris Furber “We
did no specific training for the ride, we were just told by the coach to go out
and ride it and fortunately it paid off for us.” GB

the former swimmer sealed her spot on the podium when she caught Zhou before
the finish. “It
was a very controlled pace and I just wanted to make sure I was in charge for
this afternoon’s final. “I
have been threatening to ride quicker than the world record in training and
there is hopefully there is still more to come.”  Team Sprint Gold for GB in Record Time Anthony
