Cashmore finished one place ahead of Lauren Steadman in third, as Team GB scooped two medals.

Cashmore admitted it was an emotional day as she felt the pressure in the race.

She said: "I'm feeling pretty good. Quite emotional today to see my parents and hearing that Dave (Ellis, her partner and paratriathlete) also won. I'm really happy.

"I felt a lot of pressure in coming in this time. It means so much, that relief when you cross that finish line."
