This is a game of cat and mouse over three laps, and although Emma Hinze leads into the final lap, Emma Finucane breezes past the German to take the first race.

It's best-out-of-three so one more and the Briton will be battling it out for gold.

Tonight's session kicks off with the semi-finals of the women's sprint event, which will feature Great Britain's Emma Finucane.

The 20-year-old Welsh rider has already helped GB win silver in the team sprint and now hopes to claim her first individual world medal.

She takes on Germany's Emma Hinze, who won bronze last year and has already won two golds in Glasgow, in the 500m time trial and team sprint.

Last year's runner-up Lea Friedrich of Germany, who knocked out the defending champion Mathilde Gros yesterday, then faces New Zealand's Ellesse Andrews.

Hosts Great Britain are well clear at the top of the medal tables for both cycling and para-cycling.

Four golds are up for grabs in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome on day seven so can GB add to those tallies tonight?

Katie Archibald will aim for a third world omnium title later at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow - and a second gold of these championships.

Hoy himself caught up with his fellow Scot before the Worlds and Archibald, 29, opened up about her extraordinary journey filled with triumphs, setbacks and heartbreak after the death of her partner, Rab Wardell, while he slept beside her.

Archibald has already helped Great Britain win back the team pursuit title which they last held in 2014 and watching her talk about getting back in the saddle after an awful 2022 is inspiring stuff.
