AFTERNOON SESSION
WOMEN'S SPRINT
Victoria Pendleton confirmed her great early season form with a rapid qualifying ride in the Women's Sprint. She dipped under the magical 11 second barrier, well clear of her two closest challengers, youngsters Rebecca James and Jess Varnish.

There was a brief moment of drama when Victoria Pendleton's quarter-final opponent, Emma Baird, slipped off in front of the world champion in their second heat, whilst travelling at low speed through the south bend. Pendleton narrowly avoided her, but that was the end of her troubles as she easily disposed of her opponent in the re-run. There were equally routine wins for Rebecca James, Jess Varnish and Helen Scott, who all joined Victoria in the semi-finals without really being tested.
