British National Track Championships - Roundup Day 3
Victoria Pendleton continued her supremacy in the sprint discipline on Day 3 as she claimed her ninth National Sprint title, seeing off stiff competition from young prodigies Becky James (Silver) and Jess Varnish (Bronze). Vicky will now take time out before she looks to reclaim the Women's Keirin title on Saturday, in front of a sell out crowd at the Manchester Velodrome.
Pendleton wasn't the only star to shine on Day 3 though as Olympic Silver medallist Wendy Houvenaghel won the Women's individual pursuit beating Sarah Storey with a super quick time of 3:30.612, which was faster than her silver medal winning time at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. She looked in good from the outset though and had earlier qualified fastest for the final with a time of 3.31.555.
Also on the record breaking trail in the non-championship Womens tandem dicipline, were the pairings of Sophie Thornhill and Helen Scott with a time of 11.608.
