CYCLING :
Sir Chris Hoy claimed
his 10th Track Cycling World Championships title in Copenhagen on
Thursday night. A trademark power surge saw Hoy claim the men's
keirin victory at the Ballerup Super Arena venue where the four-time
Olympic champion won his first world champion's rainbow jersey in
2002 and suffered a career-threatening injury on Valentine's Day in
2009. It was the 34-year-old's third men's keirin title in four years.
Great Britain's women's pursuit team failed to defend
their title, being forced to settle for silver. Australia,
represented by Ashlee Ankudinoff, Sarah Kent and Josephine Tomic,
proved too good for the British trio of Jo Rowsell, Wendy Houvenaghel
and Lizzie Armitstead in the gold-medal race, winning the 3km race in
3mins 21.748secs. New Zealand added another blow to the British as
they took their world record in the bronze-medal race.
Meanwhile, Victoria Pendleton and Jessica Varnish
finished fourth in the women's team sprint.
JUDO
Ben Quilter has become
the first British visually-impaired world champion in 12 years after
claiming the title on the first day of the IBSA VI World Judo
Championships in Turkey. The 28-year-old, who trains at the British
Judo Performance Institute in Dartford, is also only the fifth Briton
to hold the title - the last being Simon Jackson in 1998. |
