Great Britain’s Anna Morris claimed gold in the women’s individual pursuit on the penultimate day of the Track Cycling World Championships in Denmark.<\/b><\/p>\n
The 29-year-old trailed Chloe Dygert with three laps to go, but was able to overhaul the American in the final quarter of the race to win by just over three-tenths of a second in a time of three minutes 16.56 seconds.<\/p>\n
She told BBC Sport: “I’m in disbelief. Chloe posted an incredible time in the qualifying round and I did a huge personal best, so I wasn’t sure how much more I had to give.<\/p>\n
“I felt like I could potentially have gone a bit harder at the start so I went out a little bit harder [in the final], tried to keep it as controlled as I could, and at the end I could hear my team-mates and coach screaming, so I knew I must be close [to winning].<\/p>\n
“The calibre of rider that Chloe is, I didn’t think I had much of a chance, so it just shows that if you dig deep and see what you’ve got, sometimes you do surprise yourself.”<\/p>\n
Also in Ballerup on Saturday, Sophie Capewell and Katy Marchant took silver and bronze respectively in the women’s 500m time trial, while Katie Archibald and Neah Evans won bronze in the women’s madison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
