Richardson wins ‘bittersweet’ first medal for GBpublished at 15:35 BST 24 October<\/p>\n

15:35 BST 24 October<\/p>\n

Matt Richardson claimed his first medal for Great Britain as they won silver in the men’s and women’s team sprint at the Track World Championships.<\/p>\n

Both teams were beaten to gold by the Netherlands on the opening day in Santiago, Chile, with defending world champion Emma Finucane leading debutants Iona Moir and Rhianna Parris-Smith in the women’s trio.<\/p>\n

Richardson changed his allegiance<\/a> from Australia to the country of his birth after winning three medals at the 2024 Olympics.<\/p>\n

“Coming away with a silver medal is bittersweet for me,” said the 26-year-old.<\/p>\n

“My first medal at a world championships in a GB skinsuit is going to feel amazing. I wish it was the top step, but I can’t come away too mad about that.”<\/p>\n

Richardson was joined by Joe Truman and Harry Ledingham-Horn in the men’s qualifying line-up and they placed second behind the Netherlands, the two-time defending champions.<\/p>\n

GB then beat Germany in round one and Hamish Turnbull replaced Ledingham-Horn for the final.<\/p>\n
