Emma Finucane Creates Commonwealth Games History With Fourth Track Cycling Gold
Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome: Welsh cycling star Emma Finucane etched her name into Commonwealth Games history by becoming the first sprint cyclist to win four track gold medals at a single edition of the Games after clinching the women's keirin title in Glasgow on Sunday.
At the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, the 23-year-old achieved a remarkable clean sweep by winning the keirin gold alongside the titles she had previously gained in the team sprint, the individual sprint and the 1,000m time trial, a feat accomplished over four consecutive days.
Finucane came in first, ahead of Ellesse Andrews from New Zealand, the reigning Olympic champion, who had to content herself with silver as she tried to defend the Commonwealth keirin title that she won in Birmingham in 2022.
