'I'm quite speechless' – Anna Morris secures hat-trick of golds at Track World Championships, as Great Britain win Madison and individual pursuit
GB take gold medal tally to six on day four
On Saturday, Anna Morris, at 31 years old, secured her third gold medal from three events at the UCI Track World Championships in Shanghai, China. She achieved this by winning the Madison title alongside a debutant, Erin Boothman. Morris teamed up with Boothman and won the event by scoring in six of the 12 sprints, winning two of them, and gaining a lap on the field.
With a lead of 40 points, Morris became the first woman to win all three of the team pursuit, omnium, and Madison events at a UCI Track Worlds since their introduction for women in 2017. Boothman, already a four-time world champion as a junior, added two more senior world titles to her record. In the women's individual pursuit final, Millie Couzens triumphed over Josie Knight by half a second, claiming her second world title despite having zero expectations.
