Anna Morris started the Welsh podium procession in the 4000m Individual Pursuit where she set a Games record en route to gold ahead of England's Josie Knight, with Scotland's Erin Boothman prevailing in the bronze medal race.

Morris (pictured) said: “It’s super special. We get that opportunity once every four years to wear the Welsh jersey and try and get on the top step to sing the anthem.”

Emma Finucane sped to the second Welsh title of the evening after dominating the Sprint finals throughout the day. She secured gold with two victories in as many races against England's Sophie Capewell.

The Olympic bronze medallist said: “I literally rode with the Welsh dragon on my sleeve.

“My heart was on my sleeve, and I raced the line for Wales, for my family in the crowd. It takes a village to do what we do. The strength and conditioning coaches, physios, doctors, my coach Rach – I wouldn't be here without them. This gold is for them as much as it is for me, and I'm really proud.”

That came after her compatriot Rhian Edmunds won the bronze medal match against Malaysia's Nurul Izzah Izzati Mohd Asri.

It was the second time in as many days that Finucane and Edmunds shared the podium, after securing gold with Lowri Thomas in the Team Sprint final.

Edmunds said: “It’s just class – to be on the podium with Emma is brilliant. Obviously yesterday singing the national anthem together on the podium and then again today. It was me saying it was a once in a lifetime experience, and then (to be) there again twice in two days, so I take that back.”

It appeared that Morris had added silver in the 10km Scratch Race final only to be relegated to fifth after she was adjudged to have “entered the sprinters’ lane when an opponent was already there”.

The race was won by Australia's Georgia Baker with New Zealand's Samantha Donnelly promoted to second and Boothman elevated to bronze as she made her second trip of the day to the rostrum.

Mohd Azizulhasni Awang of Malaysia won the Men’s Keirin title, 16 years after victory was dashed by disqualification at Delhi 2010 with team-mate Josiah Ng topping the podium on that occasion.

The two-time Olympic medallist came home ahead of Australia's Leigh Hoffman and England's Harry Ledingham-Horn, with defending champion Nicholas Paul of Trinidad and Tobago in fourth.

Awang said: “I told myself that at my last Commonwealth Games I at least wanted to finish on the podium. I wanted to give myself a special gift. But today has been unbelievable. I finished with a great race, and everyone has been telling me they enjoyed it.

"It was a great moment, a great night, and I think this is one of the best moments of my life.”
