Old 'uns: Keith Harrison (USA), Derek Hodgins and Bryan Bliss on the over 65 pursuit podium. And they still ride faster than Fat Nick can. Sigh... Winner of 3 gold medals this week, Melanie Szubrycht is getting a good collection of flowers! Great Dane: Erling Laursen in action in the pursuit, riding to a bronze medal. Allen Pettit, heading for gold. And a big celebration....

Danny Clark and Ian Hallam had an epic battle in the pursuit final. Hallam grits his teeth in the pursuit, 31 years after he first raced against Danny Clark at the Edinburgh Commonwealth Games. Sprint winner Linelle Betts comes round Glynis Frances. Mexico's Isabel Leon Moncada bursts past Vikki on her way to her first taste of gold in the sprint.

Allen Pettit, so many times a medallist, savours his first gold medal. Erling Laursen and Sean Bannister keep him company. Ian Hallam, world masters pursuit champion - and in the face of stiff competition. Full-on: Melanie Szubrycht shows the sort of commitment that wins titles, on her way to a sprint gold. First win for Mexico: Isabel wins the prize for happiest winner of the week!
