The Shanghai Velodrome hosted 22 world-title events from 14 to 18 October. Great Britain won six gold medals, and Anna Morris contributed half of them. The 31-year-old Welsh rider first claimed the individual omnium, which combines several races into one overall contest.
Morris then paired with 19-year-old Erin Boothman to win the Madison, an event that demands coordinated changes and tactical points racing. Her third gold came in the team pursuit alongside Boothman, Millie Couzens and Josie Knight; Megan Barker also rode in the first round. The British quartet beat Italy in the final.
Winning in three different formats highlights Morris’s versatility. The omnium tests individual race craft, the Madison depends on a partnership, and the team pursuit rewards a precisely shared pace. Morris has now won at least one world title in four consecutive championships, taking her career total to seven.
