New Delhi:
Scott Sunderland made it two cycling gold medals in two events for Australia on Tuesday, setting a new Commonwealth Games record in the men's 1000m time-trial.
Sunderland, 22, recorded a time of 1:01.411 at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex to edge out Malaysia's Mohd Rizal Tisin, who finished in 1:02.768.
New Zealand's Edward Dawkins was third in 1.02:777.
Sunderland, the 1000m time trial winner at the Los Angeles World Cup in 2008, gained victory inside the first 20 seconds, going through the 250m mark more than a second faster than Tisal, whose mediocre start let him down.
Earlier Australia's Anna Meares won the women's 500m time trial.
Australia are eyeing a clean sweep with Jack Bobridge going for gold in the men's 4000m individual pursuit later.
Bobridge won his way into the final against New Zealander Jesse Sergent with a Games record time of 4:14.845.
