After qualifying fourth, Mitchell went on to race the gold medal final against Martha Bayona Pineda of Colombia taking the victory in the third and final heat of the race at the Mattamy National Cycling Centre in the Ontario town.

"I am so happy with my result," the 29-year-old, winner of four Commonwealth Games medals at Birmingham 2022, said.

"I know I’m not at my best so I had to race more tactically than normal.

"Normally, I just power through it and rely on my athletic abilities to win the races.

"But I really think I learned a lot and used the track properly.

"I want to take this momentum in the training block going forward and into Worlds to hopefully get more points for Olympic qualifying."

Mexico’s Luz D Gaxiola Gonzalez took the bronze medal. 

Earlier Mitchell, in company with Olympic keirin bronze medallist Lauriane Genest and Sarah Orban, had won silver in the women’s team sprint, crossing the finish line just 0.413 seconds behind Mexico, with Poland taking bronze.

"This is very close to our best time," said Genest.

"Going for the gold medal, we had nothing to lose and we really gave it our all.

"The points we earned today are beneficial for Olympic qualification."
