The medal ceremony was just under an hour later.<\/p>\n
Morris had heard her victories played out for GB with a different anthem but she looked to be overcome when celebrating this one with the Welsh national song.<\/p>\n
No time to immediately reflect on what she had just achieved though.<\/p>\n
There was a quick chance for a picture with the Welsh flag and then off it was to the next task.<\/p>\n
The scratch race started just 10 minutes later where Morris lined up with Welsh team-mates Megan Barker and Carys Lloyd.<\/p>\n
It looked like they had concocted an almost perfect plan, with Barker going off a few laps out and Morris driving through to finish second behind Australian winner Georgia Baker.<\/p>\n
A gold and a silver all in one day. Or so we thought. <\/p>\n
Morris had already done some interviews celebrating this fact before she was given the message in the media mixed zone about her demotion.<\/p>\n
Morris had been relegated for entering the sprinter’s lane when her New Zealand opponent was already there, and Scottish cyclist Erin Boothman was promoted to bronze. <\/p>\n
Morris returned to do a couple more interviews, ironically, while the scratch closing ceremony was going on.<\/p>\n
Morris reflected on her golden moment.<\/p>\n
“It was just a dream,” said Morris. “We get that opportunity once every four years, so for it to come together tonight was amazing.<\/p>\n
“I have my family and friends in the crowd and the support team from Welsh Cycling were also there.<\/p>\n
“I’m going to carry that with me forever, it’s amazing.”<\/p>\n
Morris seemed unaware of her dominance in the race.<\/p>\n
“It was only when I crossed the line I knew I’d won the race,” said Morris.<\/p>\n
“I focused on my ride and tried to execute it well and really leave it all out on the track.”<\/p>\n
It had been a day of mixed emotions and, when asked to sum up her feelings about the scratch race, Morris was whisked off so we will have to wait for that verdict.<\/p>\n
So, disappointment to finish the day but that should not take away from her pursuit domination and golden moment. <\/p>\n
Morris is a world champion for a reason and she proved why.<\/p>\n
Wales cycling have two special world-class talents in Finucane and Morris.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
