<\/p>\nCyclists competing at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow this morning have added four medals to New Zealand’s tally – a gold, silver and two bronze.<\/p>\n
Para cyclists Emma Foy and Jessie Hodges won gold in the women’s Tandem B Sprint Team, despite a nasty crash. <\/p>\n
The Kiwi pair saw their Australian rivals Jessica Gallagher and Jacqueline Mengler-Mohr, who’d looked strong in the earlier racing, lose control and dive into them at the start of the second race of their final.<\/p>\n

The judges decided there would simply be a restart with no penalty. Hodges reappeared with her knee bandaged. <\/p>\n
The next race came down to the final straight and the Kiwis came out on top to grab victory by 0.055s.<\/p>\n
Foy and Hodges had done well to even make the semi-finals, finishing fourth in the qualifying heats, with four to go through.<\/p>\n
In the semi-finals, the Kiwis beat Englishwomen Elizabeth Jordan and Sylvia Misztal 2-0, winning the second race with a powerful finishing burst.<\/p>\n
The visually impaired Foy, now 37, has had a remarkable career including two medals at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Paralympics, and more medals at world championships.<\/p>\n
Earlier, New Zealand women’s 4000m pursuit team made up of Bryony Botha, Emily Shearman, Prue Fowler and Ally Wollaston won silver, beaten by Australia by 2.117 seconds in the gold medal race.<\/p>\n
Nicole Murray also won bronze in individual pursuit C4-5. <\/p>\n
Murray finished with a time of 5m 06.199s to beat Australia’s Erin Normoyle. <\/p>\n
In the mens team pursuit bronze final George Jackson, Tom Sexton, Marshall Erwood and Daniel Morton get the bronze.<\/p>\n
The team were gold medallists at Birmingham four years ago.<\/p>\n
These medals take New Zealand to eighth on the medal table overall, with four gold, eight silver and five bronze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cyclists competing at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow this morning have added four medals to New…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":551792,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[166477,8809,111,43,139,69],"class_list":["post-551791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-commonwealth-games","tag-cycling","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=551791"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/551791\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/551792"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=551791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=551791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=551791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
