Emma Finucane won the women's sprint title at the track cycling world championships on Wednesday, beating Germany's Lea Sophie Freidrich 2-0 in a best-of-three final.
The 20-year-old from Wales edged the first round at the Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow with 4 000 fans in the stands, coming from behind.
She then went off first in the second leg and sprinted away early leaving Freidrich no margin.
Ellesse Andrews of New Zealand won the bronze medal sprint ahead of another German Emma Hinze.
