Men's team pursuit
Denmark's men's team pursuiters continued their incredible world record shattering run, knocking another eight tenths of a second off their qualifying mark in the finals against New Zealand to win the gold medal.
Lasse Norman Hansen, Julius Johansen, Frederik Rodenberg Madsen and Rasmus Pedersen became the first quartet to cover the 4km distance in under 3:45, clocking in at 3:44.672.
New Zealand held off from being overtaken by the flying Danish team to finish with a 3:49.7 and the silver medal.
In the bronze medal final, Italy lapped previous world record holders Australia to take the bronze.
Women's team pursuit
Chloe Dygert, Lily Williams, Emma White and Jen Valente of the United States stormed to the world title in the women's team pursuit, putting Great Britain nearly two seconds behind in the final.

Laura Kenny stepped in for the first round to push Great Britain into the gold medal race - nudging Canada into the bronze medal final against Germany. Kenny was absent from the GB team for the final, however, giving the USA an advantage that they might not have needed.
In the bronze medal race, Canada was on track for the bronze medal, leading into the final kilometre, but lost their third rider and fell apart, giving the final medal away to Germany.
Men's Scratch Race
Yauheni Karaliok (Belarus) regained his title as scratch race world champion, escaping with Spain's Sebastian Mora to take a lap with 10 laps to go.
The closing laps were chaotic as Mora tried to prevent another group from gaining a lap but Karaliok would not pull through, allowing Italy's Simone Consonni to rejoin with Great Britain's Matt Walls and Adrian Hegyvary (USA).
In the sprint, Mora faded and settled for third behind Karaliok and Consonni.
Men's Keirin
Harrie Levreysen (Netherlands) took a storming win in the men's keirin final, putting in a powerful surge before the final lap that no one could match. Yuta Wakimoto (Japan) held onto his wheel to take silver, with Azizulhasni Awang (Malaysia) with the bronze.
The early rounds of the men's keirin put some big names into difficulty, with Great Britain's Jason Kenny having to go through repechage and Theo Bos (Netherlands) out in the repechage round.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
