GLASGOW: Germany retained their women’s team sprint title and shattered their own world record at the cycling world championships on Thursday.

It is a fourth successive title in the discipline for the German team who are also the reigning Olympic champions. Lea Sophie Friedrich, Pauline Grabosch and Emma Hinze beat the British team in the final by setting a new world record to 45:848sec, just one year before the Paris Olympics.

China took third place. America’s Chloe Dygert won her fourth world title in the individual pursuit by beating defending champion Franziska Brause of Germany in the final.

Dygert, the world record holder, also won the world title in 2017, 2018 and 2020. Britain’s William Tidball took gold in the men’s scratch race.
