WORLD class cyclist Victoria Pendleton dominated the British Track Cycling Championships at the Manchester Velodrome last week, and won four gold medals.
The 26-year-old rider from Stotfold blasted her way to her fifth successive 500m Time Trial title on the first day of the competition with a championship best time of 34.621 seconds.
This was initially announced as a new national record but everyone, including Victoria herself, seemed to have forgotten her 34.614 earlier in the year at the World Championships.
Pendleton then won Gold in a highly aggressive and entertaining Women's Scratch Race on the second day, before securing the Women's Sprint title with a classy display on Friday.
The former Commonwealth gold medallist then finished off her superb week by winning a gold medal in the Women's Keirin on Saturday.
