The Australian women's team pursuiters set a new world record en route to the gold medal at the UCI Track World Championships in Paris, France today.
The team of Annette Edmondson, Ashlee Ankudinoff, Amy Cure and Melissa Hoskins set a time of 4:13.683 to beat Great Britain in the gold medal final.
"It's still a bit surreal. I just can't believe it," said Cure, who was the points world champion last year. "We've been training so well together as a group. I think this last year we've really been focusing on ourselves more and I think that really showed today. We all went out there, backed ourselves and each other.

"Sutto (Gary Sutton) really knew us out there. We did exactly what we planned to do, stuck by the schedule and came home with the goods."
Having forgone the defence of her world title, Cure added that team win justified her decision.
"It's a pretty emotional feeling and definitely makes up for it. It was a sacrifice I was willing to make. It's such a high when things all pan out its awesome."
