The men’s and women’s team pursuit world records were both broken on Monday at the UEC European Track Championships.
Twice the Great Britain women’s quartet of Katie Archibald, Millie Couzens, Josie Knight and Anna Morris bettered a benchmark in the 4km event that had stood since 2021. Their time of 4:03.634 in the first round took more than six tenths of a second off the previous record. They then won the gold medal later in the evening with an even faster 4:02.808 in their final against Germany, the former world record holders.
