Great Britain back on track as they climb up the podium

apeldoorn, omnisport, velodrome

After four Olympic events the British team has now medalled in each of them at this year's world track champs. Encouragingly for them, on the second night of competition in Apeldoorn, it was gold and silver rather than bronzes that they captured.

The gold came after an incredible ride in the women's team pursuit where team GB fielded two world championship debutants. Dani King and Laura Trott joined forces with erstwhile Wendy Houvenaghel to beat the Americans and take the world title back in this new Olympic event.
