GLASGOW, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Emma Finucane became the first British track rider to win the women's sprint gold at the World Championships for 10 years as she beat Germany's Lea Friedrich in the final on Wednesday. The 20-year-old beat two-time world champion Emma Hinze in the semi-final round and then proved too strong for Friedrich in the gold-medal ride, winning 2-0. But in Welsh rider Finucane they have unearthed a new force in women's sprinting just a year out from the Paris Olympics. "I get the feeling we're going to be talking about Emma Finucane for a very long time," Britain's former world champion Chris Boardman, commentating for the BBC, said. Finucane was beaten to gold by Hinze's Germany in the team sprint alongside Sophie Capewell and Lauren Bell but dominated a high-class field in the individual event.
