Katie Archibald added another national crown to her palmarès at the weekend, winning the Omnium National Championships in Derby.
The Glaswegian went into the competition as the undoubted favourite, having become the individual pursuit, scratch and points race national champion in Manchester a week prior.
And she continued her medal-sweeping form in the Derby Arena, finishing first in the omnium ahead of fellow Olympic team pursuit champion Elinor Barker. Emily Nelson was third.
The result means that Archibald is the reigning national and European omnium champion. She also counts six national medals in total.
