 CARSON, Calif. (AP) - Victoria Pendleton beat Russia's Tamilia Abassova in two straight rides to win the women's matched sprint and give Britain two of four titles awarded Saturday night in the Track Cycling World Championships.
Pendleton, who nearly left cycling after a disappointing effort in the 2004 Olympics, gave Britain its third gold and fifth medal of the four-day competition at the ADT Event Center at Cal State-Dominguez Hills.
She had winning runs of 12.184 and 12.284 seconds.
