Colbourne satisfied with silver

Great Britain's Mark Colbourne has expressed his happiness after winning a silver medal in the men's individual C1 time trial.

The Welshman, who broke his back in a paragliding accident, managed to finish the course at Brands Hatch in the second-best time of the day to grab a spot on the podium.

"Another day, another medal, another good day at the office," Colbourne told The Guardian.

Germany's Michael Teuber managed to edge to the gold-medal position over Colbourne, who lost the use of his hamstrings following his injury.
