Australia made it a home leg of the Track World Cup to remember, with Cameron Meyer and Sam Welsford clinching Madison gold on the final day to put the host nation top of the medal table.

Twenty-four hours after Annette Edmondson and Georgia Baker had won the women's Madison, Meyer and Welsford triumphed in an exciting race over New Zealand and France. The pair took a lap after 17 sprints but were pegged back by the French and New Zealanders, taking the title down to the final two sprints.

There was disappointment for the host nation, however, in the women's Omnium, as Edmondson crashed out in the final points race, having been third overall following victory in the scratch.

Victory went to USA's Jennifer Valente, who dominated the competition. Second in the scratch, she won the Tempo and Elimination races before finishing the job with another strong showing in the Points race.

The men's Sprint competition was dominated by Poland's Mateusz Rudyk, who qualified with the fastest flying lap before winning every heat he rode. In the final, he dispatched New Zealand's Sam Webster 2-0, while Matthew Glaetzer earned Australia another medal by beating Jair Tjon en Fa (Suriname) in the bronze medal ride.

In the women's Keirin, Colombia's Martha Bayona Pineda didn't win any of her heats but placed solidly before coming through at the right time to take victory in the final. Australia's Stephanie Morton was second, with Nicky Degrendele taking the bronze medal for Belgium.

With four gold medals, three silver, and two bronze from the three days of racing, Australia topped the final medal table on home soil, giving them a welcome boost ahead of the Olympic year.
