WOUW & WIEBES : DUTCH CYCLING HONOURS

SANTIAGO : Van de Wouw, Wiebes clinch gold as Dutch dominate.

Dutch riders Hetty van de Wouw and Lorena Wiebes each claimed their second world title at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships on Friday, capping another dominant day for the Netherlands in the Chilean capital.

In the women's sprint, Van de Wouw beat Japan's Mina Sato in two heats to become only the second  Dutch woman to win the event after Ingrid Haringa in 1991.

The 24-year-old added to the team sprint gold she won on Wednesday with Steffe van der Peet and Kimberly Kalee.

Wiebes won the women's omnium regaining control in the final sprint after France's Marion Borras had briefly taken the lead by lapping the field.

The victory marked her third World Title in two weeks, following triumphs in the scratch race and Gravel  World Championships.
