Track cycling double Olympic champion Ellesse Andrews has won bronze in the women’s 1000m time trial at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Santiago, Chile.<\/p>\n
In a historic day for cycling, for the first time the women’s event was staged over the same longer distance as the men.<\/p>\n
“I’ve been excited for the kilo to come in for women,” said Andrews, who secured her first podium finish of the championships.<\/p>\n
“Historically it’s only been kilo for men and 500m for women. It was cool to put down a PB and walk away with a bronze medal.”<\/p>\n
In the final, Andrews was a fraction slower than in qualifying, clocking 1:04.909, just 0.15 seconds off silver.<\/p>\n
Standout Dutch rider Hetty van de Wouw dominated the event to claim a trio of world titles in Chile. She also won gold in the women’s sprint and women’s team sprint.<\/p>\n
New Zealand’s Andrews is a strong chance to add to her medal tally when she races again tomorrow in the keirin on the final day of the competition.<\/p>\n
In other results for the New Zealand team, Bryony Botha and Sami Donnelly were seventh in the two-rider Madison.<\/p>\n
Newcomer Prue Fowler was fifth in her debut in the 4000m individual pursuit, clocking 4:32.902 in qualifying, only two seconds outside the New Zealand record.<\/p>\n
And New Zealand’s former world champion Campbell Stewart was 14th place in the men’s omnium.<\/p>\n
