Great Britain's Kadeena Cox won her second gold medal at the Para-cycling Track World Championships in the Netherlands, while also breaking another world record in qualifying.

In the first round of the C4 sprint, Cox crossed the line in a record time of 11.409 seconds.

The 35-year-old then eased through the semis before edging past Australia's Tara Neyland on the line in a close final to win her first individual sprint world title.

On Friday, five-time Paralympic gold medallist Cox also won the C4 1km gold with another world record.

There were further golds for GB in both the men's and women's tandem sprints.

In the men's race, James Ball and Aaron Pope also won their second golds of the championships, adding to their 1km time-trial victory, while Sophie Unwin and Jenny Holl comfortably won the women's event to take their sixth world title.

Lizzi Jordan and Anna Whitworth-Hay claimed bronze after beating Germany in the third-place decider.

There were also silver medals for Elisabeth Simpson in the women's C2 sprint, Archie Atkinson in the men's C4 scratch and for Fin Graham in the men's C3 elimination race.

The medals take GB's tally at the championships to six golds, eight silvers and five bronze.
