Great Britain’s gold medal rush at the Track Cycling World Championships continued as Katie Archibald and Maddie Leech dominated the women’s Madison race, while Anna Morris defended her individual pursuit title.
Scot Archibald now adds a gold to her earlier silver in the elimination race and has become only the fourth woman to be Madison world champion twice.
Meanwhile Morris defeated compatriot Josie Knight, the fastest qualifier, in the gold medal ride-off to ensure GB sealed both another rainbow jersey and a silver medal in the pursuit.
The results come a day on from Josh Tarling and Josh Charlton winning Great Britain’s first gold medals on day three of the World Championships in Santiago.
21-year-old Tarling delivered a points race masterclass at his maiden elite track world championships to land gold before Charlton picked up his first rainbow jersey in the individual pursuit. Meanwhile, Joe Truman claimed bronze in the men’s kilo.

Who are the Brits competing?
This year the British squad encompasses both multiple Olympic and world champions in Archibald and Finucane – the latter competing in the sprint and team sprint – and debutants including Rhian Edmunds, Iona Moir and Rhianna Parris-Smith.
Individual pursuit reigning champion Anna Morris has set two world records already this year and will look to translate that form into a successful title defence, while world team pursuit silver medallist Charlie Tanfield will be hoping to go one better this time around alongside Michael Gill and Will Tidball.
Giro d’Italia stage winner Josh Tarling will also make his elite track world championships debut after a lengthy injury lay-off on the road, partnering Mark Stewart in the Madison.
Matt Richardson will finally make his track world championships debut for Great Britain after switching from representing Australia after last year’s Paris Olympics.
