GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) β Track cyclist Joanna Rowsell helped England break New Zealand and Australian domination of the individual pursuit at the Commonwealth Games on Friday.
While Scottish comedian Billy Connolly watched with Chris Hoy β in the velodrome named after the retired Scottish Olympian βRowsell finished a second ahead of Australian Annette Edmondson.
New Zealand had won the event four times and Australia twice.
In an all-Australian final in the men’s individual pursuit, Jack Bobridge won his second gold medal in two days when he beat Alex Edmondson, Annette’s younger brother, in the individual pursuit.
Bobridge, who returned to the track after a year with a Dutch road racing team, won gold in the team pursuit Thursday. He plans to remain on the track to compete at the 2016 Olympics.
