After Elinor Barker took silver in the women's scratch race on the opening day, Chris Latham delivered Great Britain's second medal of the Track World Championships 2017 in Hong Kong with bronze in the men's race.
The 23-year-old rode conservatively in what was a cagey and tactical race, with the only rider able to gain a significant advantage being Adrian Teklinski (Poland) who attacked with seven laps to go.
Teklinski quickly opened more than half a lap, holding on to take gold, with silver going to Germany's Lucas Liss, and Latham delivering a powerful finishing burst for bronze.

There was less success for Britain's two young team pursuit squads, with neither the men nor the women able to claim a medal.
The men's team came closest, with the foursome of Steven Burke, Kian Emadi, Mark Stewart and Ollie Wood leading for much of the four kilometre race, before dropping back in the final 1,000m to finish in a time of 3-58.566, around a second-and-a-half behind Italy.
