Morris stuns triple pursuit champion Dygert at track worlds
Britain's Anna Morris stunned three-time champion and world record holder Chloe Dygert of the United States to win the individual pursuit title at the world track cycling championships on Saturday.
Dygert, who was aiming for a fourth triumph in the event, had improved her own world record to 3:15.663 in qualifying.
However, in the final, 29-year-old Morris was too strong and claimed her first individual title after two victories in the team pursuit in 2023 and in this year's championships.
"I'm in disbelief. Chloe posted an incredible time in the qualifying round and I did a huge personal best, so I wasn't sure how much more I had to give," Morris told the BBC.
"I felt like I could potentially have gone a bit harder at the start so I went out a little bit harder in the final, tried to keep it as controlled as I could, and at the end I could hear my team-mates and coach screaming, so I knew I must be close."
Elsewhere on Saturday, Belgium's Lindsay de Vylder took the men's omnium title.
Denmark triumphed in the women's madison while Russian cyclist Iana Burlakova took the 500m time-trial crown ahead of British duo Sophie Capewell and Katy Marchant.
