GB's Morris completes hat-trick of golds at Worlds

Anna Morris achieved a hat-trick of gold medals at the Track Cycling World Championships in Shanghai, securing victory in the women's madison event alongside Erin Boothman. The 31-year-old Welsh cyclist and the 19-year-old Scot triumphed with a combined score of 40 points, outpacing France and Japan. Morris, a seven-time world champion, expressed her disbelief at her accomplishment, stating that it would take time to process and reflect on her achievement.

This marks the first time a woman has won all three events - team pursuit, omnium, and madison - in a single championships since women's madison was introduced in 2017. Prior to Saturday's victory, Morris had already secured gold in the women's omnium on Friday and team pursuit on Thursday, along with Boothman, Josie Knight, and Millie Couzens.

England's Couzens added to Britain's gold medal tally on Saturday, claiming the individual pursuit final title against 29-year-old Josie Knight by half a second. Couzens clocked a time of 4 minutes and 21.505 seconds to claim her second gold at the championships. Despite her early expectations, Couzens admitted to being in shock, acknowledging that she had no expectations going into the competition. As of the World Championships, Britain leads the medals table with a total of six gold medals.
