CHRIS BOARDMAN shattered his one day old world record as he won the battle of the supermen to be crowned World 4,000 metres individual pursuit champion at the Manchester Velodrome last night.
He took over two seconds off the record he established in the first round as he destroyed Italy's Olympic champion Andrea Collinelli in the final. Boardman clocked an amazing four minutes 11.114 seconds as he beat the former world record holder by the massive margin of over nine seconds.
