Three more gold medals at the UCI Para Cycling Track World Championships in the Netherlands for the New Zealand team.<\/p>\n

Along with a bronze medal it takes the team’s tally to seven medals including five gold.<\/p>\n

Emma Foy and pilot Jessie Hodges won their second title and set a world record in a stunning performance in the women’s sight-impaired 4000m pursuit final holding on to beat defending champions Sophie Unwin and pilot Jenny Holl of Great Britain.<\/p>\n

“We always had high hopes that we could set a new world record but you always want to stick to the processes and do what you can. Luckily, we were able to execute a better ride than this morning so it was pretty cool to do a personal best and a world record,” said Hodges.<\/p>\n

The pair won the 1000m time trial on Friday.<\/p>\n

Nicole Murray used all her experience to take the elimination race, attacking with a lap to go.<\/p>\n

“It was an awesome race and I stuck to the game-plan, rode hard and rode smart and loved it,” said Murray.<\/p>\n

It is her third world track championship title, winning two titles at Paris in 2022, and a silver medal in the elimination race last year in Rio.<\/p>\n

Devon Briggs made it two gold medals in two days. After winning the sprint on Friday he recorded the fastest time on Saturday to take the 1000m time trial.<\/p>\n

Anna Taylor, who has returned to the sport this year after the birth of her son, claimed the bronze medal in the WC4 1000m time trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NIcole Murray wins the Elimination final at the Para Cycling Track World Champs PHOTO: SWPIX Three more gold…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":947184,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,63,784,85],"class_list":["post-947183","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-cycling","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/947183","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=947183"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/947183\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/947184"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=947183"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=947183"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=947183"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
