The haul included five golds out of a total of nine medals at the Lee Valley VeloPark.

The competition got under way on Wednesday with the men's and women's team sprints, plus the women's individual pursuit and men's scratch races.

Laura Trott won GB's first gold of the event on Thursday with victory in the scratch race, while Sir Bradley Wiggins and the British men's pursuit team picked up silver and Becky James sealed bronze in the keirin.

Friday saw Jon Dibben win gold in the men's points race, while bronze medals went to the women's team pursuit squad as well as Andy Tennant in the men's individual pursuit.

On Saturday there was a further gold medal for Great Britain as Jason Kenny won the men's sprint.

Trott topped the first day of the women's omnium with the completion of the event on Sunday, while Mark Cavendish finished sixth in the men's omnium.

The final day - Sunday - saw two further golds for Great Britain.

Trott continued to top the women's omnium to take GB's fourth gold medal and the combined team of Wiggins and Cavendish took the final gold in the men's madison.
