Shmeleva added to her team sprint victory earlier in the week by winning the 500 metres time trial.

The 22-year-old claimed a first individual world title after accelerating over the second lap to produce a sizzling time of 33.282sec.

Germany's 2014 time trial world champion Miriam Welte managed 33.382 for silver while Shmeleva's team-mate Anastasiia Voinova clocked 33.454 for bronze. 

Olympic bronze medallist Dmitriev was equally dominant in claiming a first individual sprint world title after two silver and two bronze medals across the last four events.

The 31-year-old won his sprint final 2-0 against Dutch newcomer Harrie Lavreysen.

Ethan Mitchell of New Zealand also won 2-0 in his bronze medal clash with Britain's Ryan Owens.

The first ever World Championship for the women's madison saw a close battle for the first half of the race between three teams: Belgium, Britain and Australia. 

Belgium and Great Britain were within a point of each other until the final 10km, when Lotte Kopecky and Jolien D'Hoore pulled away by winning the last two sprints.

Olympic team pursuit champion Elinor Barker took silver alongside Emily Nelson for Britain. 

Two crashes put Australia out of contention for gold or silver, but Amy Cure and Alexandra Manly battled back to take the bronze medal. 

It is hoped that the event will now be added to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic programme.

American Chloe Dygert-Owen won her second world title of the week today in the Hong Kong Velodrome.

She added the individual pursuit to her team crown by clocking 3:24.641 to win with ease by 7.43 seconds against Australia's Ashlee Ankudinoff. 

Fellow American Kelly Caitlin clocked 3:30.365 for bronze.

Benjamin Thomas of France was the day's other winner in the four event omnium.

His haul of 149 points saw him win by two over Aaron Gate of New Zealand.

Albert Torres Barcelo of Spain scored 138 for bronze.

Action will continue for a final day of competition tomorrow.
