Simon Yates and Jason Kenny handed Great Britain their second and third gold medals of the Track Cycling World Championships with two unexpected victories inside the space of 30 minutes in Minsk.
James still on course
The 21-year-old Welsh rider, who claimed bronzes in the team sprint and 500m time trial in the opening two days of racing, swept aside Australia's Kaarle McCulloch 2-0 in a one-sided best-of-three quarter final.
It continued her imperious form from the day's morning session, when she was the only rider to dip under the 11-second mark in qualifying and then comfortably defeated Lisandra Guerra Rodriguez, of Cuba, in the second round.
James will now face London 2012 sprint bronze medallist Guo Shuang, of China, in tomorrow's semi-final, with Germany's Kristina Vogel taking on Hong Kong's Lee Wai Sze in the other semi.
"I am really happy," James said. "I didn't expect to qualify first, and especially sub-11 seconds. To get a 10.9 seconds is a dream come true for me. I would like to think [I can get on the podium], but I am not putting pressure on myself. I am just going to take it as it comes."
Britain's other representatives in day three's evening session were
Dani King, who finished a creditable sixth in the women's scratch race, and
Jon Dibben, who was pulled out the third event of the men's omnium, the elimination race, after riding off the track. He is 11th overall with three races remaining.
