Sylvain Chavanel (France) wins gold in men's pursuit
Great Britain capped off a successful opening UCI Track World Cup in Glasgow on Sunday by adding two more gold medals to the their list of results his weekend. The men's team sprint trio of Jack Carlin, Ryan Owens and Joe Truman secured gold while Emily Kay closed out the evening session with a gold medal in the women's Omnium.
Carlin, Owens and Truman finished third in the qualifying round but then won their first round heat against the Czech Republic. They were paired against France's trio of Benjamin Edelin, Quentin Lafargue and Sebastien Vigier, and went on to win that gold medal round. Poland's Maciej Bielecki, Patryk Rajkowski and Mateusz Rudyk secured the bronze medal against Germany.
Kay was the most consistent of the women's 18-rider field for the women's Omnium. She finished second in the tempo race, fourth in the scratch race, second in the elimination and picked up enough points in the points race to win the Omnium gold by a slim one-point lead over silver medallist Lotte Kopecky (Belgium). Tatsiana Sharakova (Belarus) finished with the bronze medal.
Another highlight to the evening's finale went to Frenchman Sylvain Chavanel, who took the gold medal in the men's individual pursuit. He was second in the qualifiers during the morning session behind Daniel Staniszewski (Poland) but went on to beat the Polish rider during the finals for gold. Dion Beukeboom (Netherlands) finished with the bronze.
Chavanel's compatriot Elise Delzenne went on to win the women's scratch race ahead of Minami Uwano (Japan) and Evgeniya Romanyuta (Russian Federation), while Dutch powerhouse Kirsten Wild had to settle for sixth.
It was a good day for the Spanish team that won gold medals in the women's team sprint and then closed out the night by winning the men's Madison. The duo of Tania Calvo Barbero and Helena Casas Roige faced China's Jun Han and Lili Liu in the gold-medal round, successfully taking the victory in the sprints. The Russian team took bronze ahead of fourth placed team from Australia.
The World Cup finished with the men's Madison and Spain's duo Sebastian Mora Vedri and Albert Torres Barcelo taking the gold medal with 45 points. Australia's Cameron Meyer and Callum Scotson secured the silver while Belgium's Kenny De Ketele and Moreno De Pauw took bronze.
