Great Britain's women's team pursuit squad, so dominant from the inception of the event in 2008 until their last World Championship title in 2014, staged the comeback of the 2023 UCI Track World Championships on Saturday, delivering a crushing blow to their gold medal rivals New Zealand to take the rainbow jerseys.
The team overcame serious hardship en route to their victory at the Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow, and not just in a series of frustrating second and third places at Worlds and at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
