Great Britain ended day one of the 2022 UCI Track World Championships with three bronze medals to their name in the women's scratch race and team sprint finals.
Jessica Roberts was first up for GB in the scratch race as she endeavoured to build on her European silver from a couple of months ago, and the 23-year-old nabbed the final podium spot in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines.
Italy's Martina Fidanza sprinted away from the chasing pack to retain her title, while the Netherlands' Maike van der Duin came in just ahead of Roberts in the silver medal position.
Further success for Great Britain arrived in the women's team sprint final, as Emma Finucane, Sophie Capewell and Lauren Bell edged out the Netherlands by the tightest of margins in the bronze medal race.
The Netherlands were marginally quicker at the 250m mark, but GB came surging forward to finish with 46.596 on the clock, beating their Dutch counterparts (46.604) by eight thousandths of a second.
In the gold medal race, Germany took the world title with a time of 45.967, as the People's Republic of China settled for the silver medal, clocking 46.631.
Another podium finish would come GB's way in the men's team sprint final, as they posted a more comfortable margin of victory over Germany in their bronze medal race.
Hamish Turnbull, Alistair Fielding and Jack Carlin came in at 42.844 to clinch the bronze, leading the way the entire time over the Germans, who finished with a time of 42.950.
The gold medal in the men's team sprint final went the way of Australia (41.600), who overcame the Netherlands (41.643) by less than five hundredths of a second. body check tags ::
