Kiwis triumph in Track World Cup

New Zealand's cyclists were the biggest winners in Beijing this weekend after pocketing their fourth gold medal in the women's team pursuit yesterday at the World Cup Classics' fourth stop.

China posted a best-ever second place finish at the event, one of five legs of the UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classics that wraps up next month in Copenhagen. Russia were third in the gold-medal tally at Laoshan Velodrome.

Host China had more good news in the afternoon session of Day Three when Zhang Lei made an historic breakthrough in the men's sprint.
