Earlier in the day, Anna Morris picked up her third medal of the Championships with a perfectly-timed final sprint in the women’s points race.<\/p>\n

Morris added to her individual pursuit gold and bronze in the team pursuit.<\/p>\n

“I’m really, really happy. I wasn’t sure when it finished – I thought it was top five but my coach told me I was second,” Morris said.<\/p>\n

“It has been a solid week on the whole.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Matt Richardson – who switched allegiance<\/a> from Australia to Great Britain last year – also took home a silver medal on the final day after coming up short against long-time rival Harrie Lavreysen of the Netherlands in the men’s sprint final.<\/p>\n

Lavreysen won the first race by 0.094secs and was 0.050secs clear of Richardson in the second to seal his seventh consecutive world championship gold in the event.<\/p>\n

In the men’s madison, Mark Stewart and Josh Tarling placed second behind Belgian duo Lindsay de Vylder and Fabio van den Bossche, amassing 73 points – eight fewer than the champions – in the 200-lap race.<\/p>\n

That took Great Britain’s final medal haul to 14 – winning four gold, eight silver and two bronze – but they finished second to the Netherlands in the overall table.<\/p>\n

Speaking to BBC Sport, GB sprint coach and seven-time Olympic champion Sir Jason Kenny said: “We’ve missed out on some medals that we felt we could have been competitive for, but we’ve come away with a really good haul with some new medallists, so it’s really exciting.<\/p>\n

“The fact that we were on the podium more than ever shows that we were competitive across the board, and it’s really positive.<\/p>\n

“Next year’s World Championships will go towards Olympic qualification so things will start getting really serious, and I think given the age profile of the team – and the fact that we are so competitive in so many events – is a really good place to start the Olympic journey.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
