Katie Archibald and Laura Trott win gold at European Championships

Katie Archibald and Laura Trott have won gold medals as Great Britain completed the European Elite Track Cycling Championships in Guadeloupe with an eight-medal haul, six of them gold. Trott retained her European omnium title and Archibald took the 3km individual pursuit to add to the team title she won with Trott last week. “Really need to get out the habit of leaving everything to the last sprint!” Trott wrote on Twitter. “But hey ho double European champion! Super happy.” Archibald beat Germany’s Mieke Kröger by two seconds in the pursuit final, and her fellow Briton, Joanna Rowsell was fifth. The Championships took place on a 333.3m concrete track in the Caribbean.
