Elinor Barker, already a gold medallist in the women’s team pursuit at the UCI cycling world championships in Glasgow, took a cliff-hanging win in the women’s Madison in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.
In a dramatic climax to the 120-lap race, a high-speed crash prior to the penultimate lap forced a neutralisation, with Britain poised to take gold. After the restart, Barker and Neah Evans had to fight hard in the final sprint to hold off Australia and win by just three points.
