Bryony Botha has won New Zealand's first medal at the World Track Cycling champs at Paris, narrowly missing out on gold.
Botha has finished second in the women's individual pursuit just pipped by Germany's Franzika Brausse.
The Kiwi came from behind to gain the narrowest of leads with one lap remaining before the German rallied to edge Botha out.
Botha won the gold medal in the event at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games earlier this year and in 2019 was a member of the team pursuit that won a bronze medal at the world champs in Poland.
Meanwhile Aaron Gate has won a bronze medal in the men's omnium.
The medal though only came after a nervous wait as the judges had to count back the points accrued during the 25km race.
It's Gate's fourth world championship medal having won the event in 2017 and also having won silver medals in 2013 and 2021.
