APELDOORN, Netherlands (AP) — Anna Meares won her second gold medal of the track cycling world championships Saturday, beating Simona Krupeckaite of Lithuania in two races to add the individual sprint title to her victory in the team sprint.
The Australian dominated Krupeckaite in the first sprint of the final, leading throughout the final lap and easing up as she crossed the line. She repeated the feat in the second race, raising a fist as she crossed the line well ahead.
Meares knocked out world and Olympic sprint champion Victoria Pendleton over three races in the semifinal and Krupeckaite overcame 500-meter time trial champion Olga Panarina to reach the final.
Pendleton beat Panarina in two races to take the bronze medal.
