CYCLING
Sir Chris Hoy's Midas
touch deserted him tonight as a pedal problem derailed his bid for a
10th Track Cycling World Championships in Copenhagen. At the venue
where the four-time Olympic champion won his first world champion's
rainbow jersey in 2002 and suffered a career-threatening hip injury
on Valentine's Day in 2009, Hoy's rhythm appeared to be upset by a
problem with his pedal prior to the start of Britain's qualification ride.
The British trio of Jason Kenny,
Ross Edgar and Hoy were third behind France and Germany
before beating China to bronze in a restarted race for the podium
after Kenny's foot came out of his pedal.
Wendy Houvenaghel won
Britain's first medal of the opening day of the championships, but
could only claim her second successive silver medal in the women's
individual pursuit. |
