Olympic champion Archibald dominated from start to finish in her four-race event to win a 19th European title.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Wood powered clear on the final lap of the 15km race to add to his silver medal from the men’s team pursuit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dan Bigham won silver in the men’s individual pursuit and Sophie Capewell took bronze in the women’s sprint.<\/span><\/p>\n

It proved another successful night for the Great Britain team in Grenchen, who now top the medal table, having taken women’s gold and men’s silver <\/span>in the team pursuit<\/span><\/a> on Thursday after a <\/span>solid opening day.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Archibald, 28, set the tone, winning the scratch, tempo and elimination races to put herself in a commanding position before the points race. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Scot navigated it superbly to seal victory by 31 points, further cementing her status as the most successful rider in the history of the championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wood, 27, will also be delighted by his maiden gold at this level having won eight European bronze medals prior to this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Bigham, who briefly held the world hour record in 2022 qualified fastest in the men’s individual pursuit, setting a new track record in Grenchen.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, he was unable to hold off the fast-finishing Italian Jonathan Milan, who came through to claim gold in the final kilometre. <\/span><\/p>\n

Capewell shrugged off a fall earlier on Friday evening as she beat world champion Mathilde Gros of France to celebrate her first individual medal at this level.<\/span><\/p>\n
