Intro:
Laura Trott takes omnium silver as Britain finish without a gold at the Track World Championships for the first time since 2001.
Script:
Laura Trott took silver in the omnium as Britain finished without a gold medal at the Track World Championships for the first time in 14 years.
Olympic champion Trott finished behind Australia's Annette Edmondson and ahead of Dutch rider Kirsten Wild to earn a third successive world omnium silver.
Britain also won two silver medals in the team pursuit events in Paris but failed to match the two golds claimed in Colombia last year.
Trott had always been playing catch-up in the six-discipline omnium after finishing 13th in the opening scratch race on Saturday but she worked her way into contention for gold on day two.
Meanwhile Australian Anna Meares won the keirin to claim her 11th world title, a women's record, and silver in the 500-metre time trial plus bronze in the team sprint took her overall tally to 26 world medals, surpassing Sir Chris Hoy's 26.
Host nation France topped the medals table with five golds.a
