New Zealand's women claimed the gold medal in the team pursuit, putting in a fast time of 3:22.2 to best the OUCH Pro Cycling team from the USA. The two teams hold the fastest two times in the event on record, with the Kiwi's 3:21 from last year's worlds still being shown as the world mark, while the US trio of Sarah Hammer, Dotsie Bausch and Lauren Tamayo set a 3:19 at the Pan American Championships.

Bausch said the team has yet to reach its peak, and hopes to better their time at the World Championships in the Netherlands in March.

"Our time this morning surpassed our goal, and while it didn't go our way tonight, we're proud and excited about the program. The difference between our ride last year and this year was night and day. We went faster this morning than we did at worlds, and we're not anywhere near our peak, so it's positive all around."

The British team bettered its time in the final to take the bronze over Germany, setting the second fastest time of the evening in the process.

In the morning sessino, the Canadian trio missed out on the final by just 1/100th of a second.
