Australia's Para cycling team won 21 medals, including seven gold, at the Track World Championships in Apeldoorn, the Netherlands, finishing second on the medal table behind Great Britain after four days of competition.
Victorian rider Tara Neyland and Paris 2024 Paralympic champion Korey Boddington each won three gold medals to lead the 13-strong Australian squad, which also collected nine silver and five bronze medals.
Neyland, 32 and nicknamed the "Rainbow Queen", won the women's C4 scratch and elimination races and added silver in the kilometre time trial and the sprint. She made her competitive Para cycling debut in January 2025 and has now won seven world titles.
Boddington won the men's C4 kilometre time trial in 1:02.672 and the sprint world title, then completed his treble in the mixed team sprint alongside Caitlin Ward and Maxwell Sudholz.
That team sprint delivered Australia's seventh and final gold of the championships. Ward, Sudholz and Boddington beat Great Britain by 1.145 seconds, crossing the line in 48.206 seconds after topping qualifying.
Ward, a Victorian who previously rode as a tandem pilot for Paralympian Jessica Gallagher, also won the women's C5 sprint and took bronze in the kilometre time trial.
Sudholz, from Canberra, was making his debut for the Australian Cycling Team and left Apeldoorn with three medals, including the team sprint gold. He won silver in both the men's C3 sprint and kilometre time trial.
Tahlia Clayton-Goodie won gold in the women's C1 elimination race and silver in the sprint and kilometre time trial. She finished fifth overall, and second among C1 riders, in the combined C1-2 scratch race.
In the men's B sprint, Kane Perris and pilot Luke Zaccaria beat fellow Australians Beau Wootton and pilot Byron Davies in an all-Australian semi-final to reach the gold medal race. Perris and Zaccaria then lost to Great Britain's James Ball and Aaron Pope, settling for silver.
Wootton and Davies regrouped to beat Germany for bronze in the same event, adding to the bronze they won earlier in the kilometre time trial. It was their first world championships since 2023.
Gordon Allan won silver in the men's C2 sprint, while Paralympic champion Darren Hicks claimed bronze in the men's C2 elimination race. Alistair Donohoe added bronze in the men's C5 scratch race to round out the Australian tally.
