After winning 12 out of 13 events entered at last year's Beijing Paralympic Games, Britain reiterated their status as the world's leading nation with 10 gold, three silver and one bronze, as well as five world records.

 

Besides Kenny, there were also multiple successes for Neil Fachie and his tandem pilot Barney Storey, Jody Cundy, Mark Bristow and Sarah Storey, with three wins on the final day bolstering the hosts' total.

 

Aileen McGlynn and her tandem pilot Ellen Hunter won a gold and a bronze, while Rik Waddon won two silvers and Simon Jackson and his pilot David Readle also won a silver.

 

Kenny replicated his successes from Beijing with three wins from three events - in the men's CP3 one-kilometre time-trial, individual pursuit and the team sprint.

 

The team sprint win, where he led Cundy and Bristow - also individual kilometre champions - to victory, was his fourth world title of the year following his road race success in Bogogno, Italy in September.

 

The 39-year-old Kenny from Bournemouth said: "It's my fourth this year - it's been nice."

 

Storey triumphed in the women's LC1 500metres time-trial in 37.430sec, winning her first world title in the discipline following bronze medals in 2006 and 2007.
 

The 32-year-old former Paralympic swimming champion said: "I'm over the moon."

 

It was her second win of the competition following her stunning world record ride of 3mins 34.26 in the women's LC1 3km pursuit last night.

Her success was followed up by her husband Barney, who triumphed in the men's B&Vi sprint as pilot to Fachie.
 

It was the duo's second title on Fachie's World Championships debut.
 

Fachie said: "It's just phenomenal.

 

"It's been a fantastic weekend all round.
 

"Hopefully we can go on from here and just keep improving."

 

Meanwhile, Ireland’s Catherine Walsh produced a great performance to take silver in the 3km individual pursuit. 

Walsh, along with her pilot rider, Caroline Ryan, finished in second position with a time of 3:38.756 behind the American pair of Karissa Whitsell and Mackenzie Woodring, who took gold in a world record of  3:36.362.

 

Walsh, a mother-of-two from County Louth who is visually impaired, transferred her talents to cycling after retirement from athletics. 
 
She said: "We are thrilled to get the silver medal here tonight.

 

"For this to be Ireland's first World Championship medal is a tremendous honour, we’ll be smiling about this for a long time."
