GB women end nine-year wait for team pursuit gold at World Championships

Great Britain's women's team pursuit team have won gold at the World Championship in Glasgow, ending a nine-year wait in the process.

After near misses in recent high-profile events, the quartet of Katie Archibald, Anna Morris, Josie Knight and Elinor Barker were clear favourites to finally bring a halt to the drought in this discipline.

Facing New Zealand, Team GB initially found themselves trailing to their opponents in the final, but it was not long before they got their noses in front as the race approached the final.

Rather than face increasing pressure from New Zealand, Team GB extended their margin, prevailing by over 4.5 seconds to claim a conclusive gold.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Archibald said: "You don't really [stay focused with that reception], it is all coming out now with this event," Archibald told BBC Sport.

"Someone was talking about imposter syndrome the other day and you almost have it the other way round, we almost see ourselves as the best in the world but we have not been on the top step since 2014. So to have that feeling validated feels good."

Great Britain took their medal haul to 22 with a total of eight on Saturday, with Charlie Hatton beginning the day with gold in the men's mountain bike downhill.

Silver and bronze went to Cat Ferguson and Laurie Greenland in the women's junior road race, while there was gold and silver for Jaco van Gass and Fin Graham in the men's C3 scratch race.

Sam Ruddock and Blaine Hunt each won golds in para time-trial races, with Ruddock winning the men's C1 and Hunt the men's C5, and both raced over 1km distances. body check tags ::
