Having finished their TT, the camera was rolling and captured the moment Dunlevy, right, and McCrystal knew they'd won the Paralympic gold medal.

Katie-George Dunlevy and her tandem pilot Eve McCrystal won TT gold on the road at the Paralympics and didn't realise they'd won until somebody came and told them.
They were shattered from their effort and were slumped at the side of the road when the news came through.
And the cameras were rolling to catch the once in a lifetime moment it dawned on them they were Paralympic champions.
