DAVE ELLIS set aside previous Paralympic frustration and issues with the river Seine’s water quality to power to triathlon glory, before Megan Richter grabbed another gold for Britain.

Visually impaired Ellis, whose Tokyo 2020 ambitions were derailed by a snapped bike chain, claimed the men’s PTVI3 title in Paris by crossing the line alongside guide Luke Pollard in 58 minutes and 41 seconds.

Success for the 38-year-old was swiftly followed by teammate Richter winning the women’s PTS4 event in one hour, 14 minutes and 30 seconds.
