Australian track cyclist Annette Edmondson has won her second gold medal at the world championships in Paris with a dominant final-day display in the multi-discipline omnium.
Edmondson won gold with a total of 192 points ahead of Great Britain's reigning Olympic champion Laura Trott (176 points) and Dutch rider Kirsten Wild (175).
The 22-year-old's first individual world title comes three days after she won gold in the women's team pursuit with Ashlee Ankudinoff, Amy Cure and Melissa Hoskins when Australia obliterated the world record.
Edmondson, third in the omnium in 2014, went into the final 25km points race leading Trott - who was part of the British quartet that claimed silver in the team pursuit behind Australia - by 14 points.
Belgium Jolien D'hoore was a further four points back in third.

The Australian inched further clear in the second sprint before Trott hit back mid-race.
But Edmondson then put the omnium beyond doubt by winning the seventh and eighth of 10 sprints in the final 100-lap race.
She'd actually done most of the hard work earlier on Sunday by winning both the 500m time trial and flying lap.
On Saturday the South Australian was consistent coming fifth in the opening 10km scratch race, second in the 3km individual pursuit and seventh in the elimination race.
Edmondson later explained that given the time trial and flying lap were her strongest disciplines she'd expected it to come down to the points race on Sunday.
In that race she was helped by the fact the riders bunched behind her in the rankings were focused on the minor medals.
"I didn't have to do anything crazy and sure enough my three major opponents fought themselves over the first half of the race so I was quite fresh for the second half and I just had to make sure no-one took any laps," Edmondson told AAP.
"It actually played into my hands having that buffer."
The 22-year-old said the individual omnium win was "pretty special" given she'd targeted it for so long and had previously come second (2012) and third (2013 and 2014).
"But nothing compares to winning it (the team pursuit) with my teammates.
"I played that over in my head even warming up for this omnium."
The South Australian will target the same two events at the Rio Olympic Games in August 2016.
"We've made some huge steps in the last few months so we know we're on the right track," she said.
"We've just got to keep the foot down and keep the pressure on."
