China's gold medals reached 35 on Sunday, the fourth matchday of the London Paralympics.

Hosts Britain overtook Australia to stand in second with 15 golds.

So far, China topped the tally with 35 gold, 24 silver and 28 bronze medals, followed by Britain with 15-24-14, Australia 14-11- 18, Ukraine 13-8-12, Russia 12-13-9, United States 9-8-16 and Brazil 7-3-3.

So far, a total of 89 world records have been refreshed. And not a single doping case appeared.

On the first gold medal matchday of the table tennis, the Chinese squad collected six of the 11 golds on offer, greatly help keep China's gold-taking momentum.

The cycling-track competition ended Sunday with the total 18 gold medals spilt by Britain's five 5, China's five, Australia's four. The United States, Spain, New Zealand and Romania also got a piece.

The Chinese team showed wonderful performance as seven of its eight cyclists were crowned.

Liang Guihua was crowned in men's individual C2 pursuit with a new world record.

Zeng Sini took the women's C1-2-3 pursuit gold with a new world record.

"Here, we took five golds, the same as the event's traditional powerhouse and hosts Britain. Our cyclists made a history!" Li claimed.
