    'Super ride' from GB wins gold in women's madison

    Great Britain won two gold medals at the Track World Championships as Katie Archibald and Maddie Leech won the women's madison before Anna Morris defended her individual pursuit title.

    Archibald, 31, and Leech, 22, delivered a dominant performance to win by six points over France's Victoire Berteau and Marion Borras, while Italy's Chiara Consonni and Vittoria Guazzini took bronze with 20 points after a crash ended the Netherlands' challenge.

    "The track's been running really fast this week and I've been so excited for this race," two-time Olympic champion Archibald said.

    "The only thing I've been scared about is how much it was going to hurt. Everything else has been just a thrill and an opportunity so I was glad to welcome the pain and take home the jersey.

    "There's nine years between us. Maddie was 13 years old when the first women's madison title was contended.

    "She's grown up with this event as a reality which hasn't always been the case and it feels pretty cool to be next to somebody on that journey."

    Morris, who won individual pursuit gold at last year's world championships in Denmark, beat Great Britain team-mate Josie Knight by 2.317 seconds in a comfortable final display in Santiago, Chile.

    GB's Tarling wins first track world title with points race victory

    Josh Tarling and Josh Charlton won gold medals for Great Britain at the Track World Championships.

    Tarling delivered a first British gold of the championship in Chile by winning the men's points race, amassing 750 points over the 40km event to beat American Peter Moore (675) to the title.

    Charlton, 22, then doubled the gold tally, winning GB's first world title in the individual pursuit since Bradley Wiggins in 2008.

    A good start saw 21-year-old Tarling take points in the opening sprint, then secure maximum points in sprint three before he powered clear to gain a lap.

    That gave him the lead and he continued to accumulate points, including the maximum again in sprint 11, to win gold in style.

    Track Worlds debutant Tarling becomes the first British man to win the points race title since Jonathan Dibben in 2016.

    "I didn't know how [my first World Championships] would be or how it would feel , so not knowing was scary," Tarling said.

    "It felt pretty good. I think it was good that I got those early points in so I knew the legs were there."

    Charlton, who took silver on his championships debut last year, dominated this time around as he upgraded to gold - finishing more than three seconds clear of Denmark's Rasmus Pederson.

    Elsewhere, Joe Truman took bronze in the men's 1km time trial - behind the Dutch duo of Harrie Lavreysen and Jeffrey Hoogland - to match his achievement from 12 months ago.

    Britain's overall medal tally is now up to seven after three days of action.

    Katie Archibald won silver in the women's elimination race, while GB claimed women's team pursuit bronze on Thursday, having secured silver medals in both the men's and women's team sprints on the opening day.

    GB's Archibald wins elimination silver at World Track Cycling Championships

    Katie Archibald won a silver medal in the women's elimination race while Great Britain claimed bronze in the women's team pursuit at the Track World Championships.

    Two-time Olympic champion Archibald was competing in the elimination for the first time in a World Championships and the race took three attempts to get started because of crashes.

    With the riders having been whittled down to four in Santiago, Chile, Archibald made a last-ditch sprint to knock out Victoire Berteau of France and secure her 16th world medal overall.

    Belgium's Helene Hesters then bowed out, leaving a match sprint with Ireland's Lara Gillespie, who opened a gap as she pushed for the line and Archibald could not catch the European champion from taking her first world title.

  6. Richardson wins 'bittersweet' first medal for GBpublished at 15:35 BST 24 October

    Matt Richardson claimed his first medal for Great Britain as they won silver in the men's and women's team sprint at the Track World Championships.

    Both teams were beaten to gold by the Netherlands on the opening day in Santiago, Chile, with defending world champion Emma Finucane leading debutants Iona Moir and Rhianna Parris-Smith in the women's trio.

    Richardson changed his allegiance from Australia to the country of his birth after winning three medals at the 2024 Olympics.

    "Coming away with a silver medal is bittersweet for me," said the 26-year-old.

    "My first medal at a world championships in a GB skinsuit is going to feel amazing. I wish it was the top step, but I can't come away too mad about that."

    Richardson was joined by Joe Truman and Harry Ledingham-Horn in the men's qualifying line-up and they placed second behind the Netherlands, the two-time defending champions.

    GB then beat Germany in round one and Hamish Turnbull replaced Ledingham-Horn for the final.

    Meanwhile, Great Britain's men will be looking to get the better of the Netherlands this time out after missing out on sprint team bronze in 2024.

    Matthew Richardson will line up in Great Britain colours for the first time, having won three medals for Australia at the Paris Olympics before switching nationalities.

    Michael Gill and Josh Charlton will also be aiming for the individual pursuit gold.
