Anna Morris broke her own world record for the third time in a week to win the women’s 4km individual pursuit title at the British Track Championships in Manchester.
The Welshwoman had broken her own record twice in one day when winning gold at last week’s European Track Cycling Championships.
She made it a hat-trick by shaving off more than a second to claim victory with a time of four minutes 24.060 seconds at the National Cycling Centre.
“The motivation was really high, especially on my home track in front of a home crowd,” she said. “I am feeling it a bit after racing at Euros, so I wasn’t sure how much I had left in me, but the crowd definitely carried me in those last four laps.
“I was just trying to keep my head down in that last kilometre, trying to keep pedalling as much as I could, they felt like they were giving up, but I could hear the crowd, so I just tried to hold on.
“I often feel like I am living someone else’s life sometimes, it is quite surreal. But I am very grateful for all the opportunities I have had.”
It was Morris’ second victory at the championships after winning the women’s scratch race on Friday.
Elsewhere, Will Perrett claim the men’s points title for a third year in a row, winning by just one point from Henry Hobbs, with Ben Wiggins third.
Lyall Craig, Harry Ledingham-Horn, Niall Monks and Matthew Richardson won the men’s team final, while Lauren Bell beat Emma Finucane to claim her first national keirin title.
Amelia Cass stormed to victory in the 3km C1-3 pursuit, winning by almost 30 seconds from Katie Toft and lapping third-place Elisabeth Simpson twice.
Sophie Unwin and Jenny Holl won the tandem 1km time-trial to go with the women’s B individual pursuit title won on Friday.
There were also victories for Morgan Newberry in the men’s C5 4km pursuit, Matthew Robertson in the men’s C2 individual pursuit, Fin Graham in the C3 and Archie Atkinson in the C4.
In the final para event of the night, B Xavier Disley edged William Bjergfelt to take the C5 pursuit title.
