The day started with Dylan in ninth place in the omnium but with a superb pursuit coming second and two wins in the scratch and the kilo he managed to climb back up the placings into 3rd position behind Roman Ivlev a Russian and Caleb Ewan from Australia who took the win.

Then we had Cassie up in the women's scratch race. It was what looked like a tough 30 lap race with lots of surges and attempted attacks, but Cassie hung in there showing everyone exactly how to race a scratch race and with a lap to go she was in the prime position for a medal and when it came down to the line she came speeding in behind Georgia Baker from Australia and Jennifer Valente of USA.

The last up was Steph who qualified to go on to the gold medal ride off against another Russian, Anastasiya Voynova. Steph rode some amazing races but Anastasiya managed to squeeze past her and take the gold, so Steph ended up in second. Victoria Williamson from Great Britain finished off the podium beating Russia's Tamara Balabolina for the bronze.

Today is another full on day of racing with Sophie on to the last day of the Omnium, Fraser and Scott doing their 3km Individual Pursuit, Steph in the Kerian and finally Alex racing the men's Points Race. So lets hope they can add to our medal tally.
Yesterday and today are rest days for me which is nice to have a break between races, but it is all back into racing tomorrow with the 2km individual pursuit. This is my favourite race and I am aiming to do a 4second pb. It will prove to be some good close racing because there are some pretty quick girls out there and everyone is looking to be on fine form. So hopefully in the last few days there can be some more great results achieved.
