Morris Completes Golden Treble as Britain Rules Day 4 in Shanghai

Anna Morris and Erin Boothman won the women's madison for Great Britain on Saturday at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Shanghai, giving Morris her third gold of the week. Millie Couzens beat teammate Josie Knight in an all-British individual pursuit final, and Germany's Pauline Grabosch claimed the women's 1 km time trial for her first elite individual world title. The day lifted Great Britain to six gold medals, the most of any nation, and 11 medals overall.

Morris arrived at the madison already holding rainbow jerseys from Thursday's team pursuit and Friday's omnium. With Boothman, a new pairing for the event, she became the first woman to win the team pursuit, omnium and madison at a single world championships since the women's madison joined the program in 2017. Britain and France broke clear together late in the race and each gained a lap, turning the contest into a two-team duel. Boothman then won the second-to-last sprint to open a nine-point lead over France, and the British pair marked their rivals through the final sprint to finish on 40 points to France's 33. Clara Copponi and Marion Borras took silver for France, while Japan's Tsuyaka Uchino and Maho Kakita edged New Zealand's Bryony Botha and Prudence Fowler for bronze on the final sprint. Britain has now won the event in back-to-back years after Katie Archibald and Maddie Leech took the 2025 title.
