Great Britain finished this year’s Track Cycling World Championships with four golds and the highest overall medal tally of any nation, 14, beating last year’s tally of 13.
The 22-strong team finished the week in Santiago second in the medal table, however, behind a powerhouse Dutch squad. The Netherlands picked up nine golds as they continued their dominance on the track, with Harrie Lavreysen completing the clean sweep of all four world sprint titles for the first time.
GB’s golds came courtesy of 21-year-old Josh Tarling, who won the points race at his maiden elite track world championships, and Josh Charlton, who landed the individual pursuit world title.
Anna Morris defended her individual pursuit world title with another commanding performance ahead of teammate Josie Knight, who took silver, while Katie Archibald and Maddie Leech came out on top in a hectic women’s Madison race, the latter winning gold for her debut world championships medal.
Britain also took silver medals in both the men’s and women’s team sprint – behind the Dutch – as well as the men’s madison, men’s sprint, women’s keirin, women’s points and elimination races, while Joe Truman took bronze in the kilo time trial.
