YOU know what it's like - you wait an entire career for a world record and then two suddenly come along at once.

Barney Storey could barely believe his fortune after setting two world bests and banking two golds in the space of an hour at the Visa Paralympic World Cup (May 14-15).

Storey, a triple national champion, piloted visually-impaired cyclist Anthony Kappes to 200m sprint gold and then repeated the trick with Dan Gordon in the 1km time trial.

And fellow Bournemouth cyclist Darren Kenny was also on fire at the Manchester Veledrome - winning four golds, smashing his own 200m sprint world record by half a second and claiming another world best as part of Britain's team sprint trio.

Storey was full of praise for partner Kappes, who only started cycling six months ago after being inspired by Britain's performances at the Paralympics in Athens. Their time of 10.72 seconds shaved nearly a tenth off the previous best.

The pair will now focus on the European Championships in Holland later this year but Storey is already looking towards Beijing in 2008.

He said: "It's tremendous what Anthony has achieved in such a short space of time. I first rode with him six months ago and it's outstanding what he's done.

"You either gel or you don't and you know straight away whether you will or not.

"I knew we could ride fast because training has been going so well but we never expected to break the world record like this.

"It's hard not to think about Beijing but there are a lot of things to achieve before then, like qualifying to get there.

"The selectors haven't made their mind up about who will partner who for the rest of the season but I hope they don't break up a winning team. I'll leave that to them, it's out of my hands."

Kenny, a double gold medallist at last year's Paralympics, is getting used to seeing his name in the record books.

He now holds five world best marks, including the prestigious world hour best - set earlier this year.

His only disappointment was the late withdrawal of Spain's Javier Otxoa, who pushed him all the way in Athens last September.

He said: "The training was going great so I was fairly confident going into it. I was pretty disappointed Otxoa pulled out and I was fairly nervous about the team sprint on our first competitive try out.

"We only practised a couple of times in training but we thought we could do well so I guess you could say the world record was a bonus.

"It was very warm in there and I felt pretty good warming up and everyone else looked like they did too.

"The team were fired up for it - it was our chance to prove ourselves on home soil and there was a good atmosphere in there. To take seven tenths off the world record in our first competitive outing was a nice start shall we say?"

Kenny, a full-time National Lottery funded cyclist, returns to the roads of the New Forest this week to continue his training ahead of the World Championships in New York later this year.

He added: "I've got to make sure I stay in good shape for the Worlds. I know I can't sit back, I've got to keep on pushing.

"I raced with Otoxa in Spain recently and I was really looking forward to getting him back here. I just hope he is fit so I can race him again son.

"The pursuit ended up being a bit of a mismatch, his replacement only had 24 hours to prepare so he wasn't in the best shape."
