Russia's Svetlana Grankovskaya added the sprint gold medal to her keirin title when she beat Natallia Tsylinskaya in straight heats, relegating the Bielorussian to the silver medal position.

Great Britain's Victoria Pendleton was impressive, taking 2001 time trial world champion Nancy Contreras Reyes to three heats in the contest for the bronze medal. The Mexican won two heats to one but Pendleton, who has only been training full time since January, suggested she would be one to watch at next year's Olympics.

Great Britain's Victoria Pendleton made it through to the semi-finals of the women's sprint and finds herself up against Svetlana Grankovskaya on tomorrow's final day of competition.

Natallia Tsylinskaya remained on track for the sprint double, setting up a semi-final meeting with Mexico's Nancy Contreras Reyes, whom the Belarussian beat to win the 500m time trial on Thursday.
