Great Britain enjoyed a successful opening night at the Track World Cup in Glasgow with women's gold medals in the team pursuit and team sprint.
The German squad proved too powerful over three laps for the trio of Philip Hindes, Jason Kenny and Ed Clancy, winning by just shy of three tenths. The early action on the evening saw Denmark take a commanding victory in the men's team pursuit, catching a fractured German squad on the bell lap to take the first gold of the event. The Glasgow crowd had to make do without British representation in the final, the Team GB quartet having crashed out during qualification while on schedule for the gold medal ride-off. Belgium rounded out the podium with bronze.
