Liang wins C1-2-3 pursuit gold

China's Liang Guihua has won gold in the men's C1-2-3 individual pursuit, breaking the world record in the process.

Liang was behind in the early stages in the final but finished incredibly strongly to sweep home with a record time of 3:45.243.

Tobias Graf of Germany could not quite do enough despite setting a good time himself, and had to settle for silver with his 3:48.248.

In the bronze medal race France's Laurent Thirionet just shaded his Irish opponent Colin Lynch; his time of 3:53.547 was just .120s up on Lynch.
