Meares wins record 11th title at track worlds (The Associated Press)
SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France (AP) — Sprint great Anna Meares became the most successful female track cyclist in history with 11 world titles after claiming the gold medal in keirin at the track cycling world championships on Sunday. The 31-year-old double Olympic champion added a 26th medal to her impressive collection on the final day of competition at the Velodrome National as she beat Frenchwoman Felicia Ballanger’s record of 10 world golds. Meares’ gold medal capped a successful day for Australia after Annette Edmondson claimed a second gold medal with a victory in the omnium. Trott ended 16 points behind Edmondson and edged Dutch sprinter Kirsten Wild, the scratch race world champion, by just one point.
