Tyler-Sharman breaks Watt's Pursuit record

At the Adelaide Superdome last night, Lucy Tyler-Sharman broke Kathy Watt's National Pursuit record by 2.5 seconds. The new mark is no 3.44.41. This seems to be vindication of her selection to ride the pursuit at Atlanta which Kathy Watt overturned via the Sports Arbitration Court. Watt failed badly at Atlanta, while Tyler Sharman won a medal and has continued her form since.

In the men's sprint challenge, Canadian Kurt Hartnett, riding his last international event beat Gary Neiwand 2-1. It was a reply of the bronze medal ride-off at Atlanta.
