The tricycle drivers Jana Majunke and Angelika Dreock-Käser celebrated a German double success at the Paralympics.
The 31-year-old Majunke also won the road race over 26.4 kilometers on the Fuji International Speedway after the time trial and took the tenth German gold medal in Japan.
Majunke, who has spastic movement disorders, dominated the field from the start, was able to break away quickly and won in 1:00:58 hours.
“I still can't believe it.
The route just suits me, ”she told ARD.
For Majunke it was the third Paralympic medal after bronze in Rio on the street.
Club colleague Angelika Dreock-Käser, who started the Paralympics for the first time after a stroke, came in second after 1:03:40 hours and, after bronze in the time trial, also celebrated her second precious metal.
Disappointment with the men
The German men, however, experienced a disappointment in the race of the combined starting classes C1-3.
As the best of a quartet, Rio Olympic champion Steffen Warias came in seventh after 79.2 kilometers; he was left behind in his group in the sprint for bronze.
The third time trial, Matthias Schindler, finished in 13th place. As expected, flag bearer Michael Teuber had no chance in the race of the combined starting classes.
