Great Britain scoop gold at Track World Championships

Great Britain have won gold in the 3km team pursuit at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Belarus.

Dani King and Laura Trott, who along with Joanna Rowsell scooped gold at last year's Olympics, were joined by Elinor Barker as Britain maintained their dominance in the event.

It is the fifth of six possible golds for the British team since this event was first introduced to the program in 2008.

A time of three minutes 18 seconds proved too good for the Australian trio of Annette Edmondson, Ashlee Ankudinoff and Melissa Hoskins.
