Welsh sprinter Becky James has claimed Great Britain's first medal of the Junior World Track Championships in Moscow, taking second place in the women's 500m TT on the event's opening night.
The 17-year-old clocked 35.784 to take second place behind Tianshi Zong of China. However, it could have been gold for the youngster.
Olympic Development Programme performance director Helen Mortimer explained: "Apparently she got caught up in the gate and lost a bit of time there. She was a bit disappointed when she finished, but it was a good performance."
