CYCLING
A sensational individual performance from consummate
team man Ed Clancy delivered Great Britain's third Track Cycling
World Championships title - but Victoria Pendleton was denied her
second gold on a dramatic final day in Copenhagen. Clancy, already
the owner of three world team pursuit titles and Olympic gold, was a
surprise winner of the men's omnium, a multi-discipline event which
is to join the London 2012 programme.
MOTORCYCLING
Leon Haslam continues to lead the FIM Superbike World
Championship after taking a pair of second-placed finishes from
Sunday's round in Portugal - which was dominated by British riders.
Max Biaggi won both races on his Alitalia Aprilia ahead of Haslam,
but the Derbyshire-born rider now holds a 16-point lead over the
Italian at the top of the standings.
ATHLETICS
Ethiopia's Tirunesh Dibaba failed to collect a fourth
World Cross Country title on Sunday after being run out of the medals
in Poland. Dibaba, whose last victory came in Edinburgh two years
ago, was unable to master the muddy conditions in Bydgodszcz and had
to settle for fourth place as Kenyan duo Emily Chebet and Linet Masai
dominated the race. |
