Katy Marchant took gold in the Women's Keirin on day two of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup in Glasgow.
Her win over Germany's Emma Hinze was by the smallest of margins as she lunged for the line just in time to snatch victory.
As well as a gold medal on the second day of action in Glasgow, Britain also won silver as Ethan Hayter and Oliver Wood finished second in the Men's Madison, beating the Australian duo in the final sprint.
Neah Evans finished eighth in the Women's Omnium and Jason Kenny lost to Harrie Lavreysen in the quarter-finals of the Men's Sprint, the Dutchman eventually going on to take gold.

After her win, Marchant said: "I’m so happy and I’m really pleased with how I rode the race as well.
"There were moments when I chose to be patient and then I picked my moment at the end, it was hard work, but it was worth fighting for.

The final day of the Glasgow Track World Cup continues on Sunday (November 10) with the Men's Omnium, Women's Sprint, Men's Keirin and Women's Madison.

Jonny was Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor until 2022.
I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.
Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).
I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
