More medals for Junior riders at World Champs

8:40 am on 22 August 2011

The New Zealand cycling team scored two more medals to complete a record haul on the fifth and final day of competition at the Junior World Track Championships in Moscow.

Auckland's Georgia Williams won silver in the women's 2000m individual pursuit while Christchurch's Alex Frame and Havelock North's Fraser Gough combined to bag silver in the Madison.

It completed an outstanding world championship for the New Zealand contingent, finishing with four silver medals and six bronze for a record 10-medal haul, the most for any New Zealand team in the history of the championships.

It also bodes well for New Zealand riders who remain in the junior category with the country to host the 2012 World Championships at Invercargill next year.
