500m Time Trials

Following the tandem pursuit qualifiers, the single bike women's categories were on track for their 500m time trials.

Australia fared well in these events, as follows:
Jayme Paris - 1st C1 in 47.196, just outside her World Record of 46.427
Simone Kennedy - 1st C3 in 44.747, an outstanding result for her first appearance at track Worlds
Susan Powell - 2nd C4 in 40.308, beaten only by the World Record Holder, Jianping Ruan from China, who took another few 1/100th off her own World Record - was 39.04, now 38.974, subject to ratification of course
Alex Green - 4th C4 in 43.267, a great warm up for her preferred event, the pursuit
Claire McLean - 6th C5 in 43.049, a satisfactory re-entry to Worlds track competition, and another nice warm up for the preferred pursuit event.

The only other action for the Australian team today will be the Men's tandem pursuit final, where Bryce and Scott will be looking to repeat their qualifying performance and step onto the top step of the podium.
