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.

There was also no representation for Great Britain in the men's keirin final after 20-year-old Joe Truman, who ran out of gas after attacking early in his heat, and went on to claim eighth place overall after placing second in the minor final.
