Pendleton wins women’s track cycling sprint gold

BEIJING — Britain’s Victoria Pendleton has beaten Australia’s Anna Meares for the gold medal in the women’s track cycling sprint.

Pendleton, a three-time world champion in the event, swept Tuesday’s best-of-three final, 2-0.

Meares — who suffered a near-catastrophic injury at a World Cup race near Los Angeles seven months ago — won the bronze in the sprint at the Athens Games four years ago.

China’s Guo Shuang beat Willy Kanis of the Netherlands for the bronze.
