Road cycling: It’s all over in the men’s T1-2 road race. Gold goes to China’s Jianxin Chen, ahead of Tim Belcelen of Belgium and Juan Jose Quiroga of Colombia. USA’s Matthew Rodriguez finished fifth, while Australia’s Stuart Jones crossed the line in eighth place. A commanding performance from Chen in the wet. He finished a full minute ahead of his nearest rival, and was still full of energy as he crossed the line.
Australia’s Paralympians will receive the same cash bonus as their able-bodied counterparts after the federal government committed to providing financial support to Paralympics Australia.
Olympics gold medal winners in Tokyo received a $20,000 reward from the Australian Olympic Committee but there was no similar bonus scheme for Paralympians owing to a disparity in funding for the peak sports bodies.
