Gold at last!

Great
Britain finally got its world team pursuit title with a 4:05.619. The
Dutch stayed within a half second for the first kilometer, but Britain
pulled away in the remaining kilometers to seal the deal.
Australia was not about to make any mistakes in the evening session and
immediately opened almost a two second advantage over the Kiwis. New Zealand
clawed some of its disadvantage back but lost the bronze to the Aussies.
A special "good on ya, mate" goes to Greg Henderson, who represented
the Kiwis in the points race, scratch race (silver medal) and team pursuit
and is slated to ride the Madison with team pursuit teammate Peter Latham.
