Great Britain's Beth Shriever regained the women's BMX world title at the Cycling World Championships in Glasgow. Olympic champion Shriever led from start to finish to reclaim the rainbow bands she won in 2021. The 2018 winner Laura Smulders was second for the Netherlands, with US rider Alise Willoughby, who won in 2019, crossing the line in third.
"The crowd was amazing, it is so special," she told BBC Sport. "This means so much, I am speechless. These girls are fast and you have to be at the top of your game and can't make mistakes," added Shriever. "I managed to hold my nerve. I will definitely be celebrating - get me the champagne now."
