GLASGOW, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Dutchman Harrie Lavreysen maintained his stranglehold on track cycling's sprint discipline as he made it five world titles in succession in the individual event on Monday.
Having powered the Dutch to team sprint gold earlier in the meet and, with the keirin to come on Tuesday, he could leave Glasgow having matched the record 14 world titles of French sprint king Arnaud Tournant.
Host nation Britain also enjoyed another impressive day at the Chris Hoy Velodrome to top the medals table.
He has won five sprint titles in a row, five of the last six in team sprint and three of the last three in keirin.
"My legs are still screaming," Barker said after adding the madison to the team pursuit gold she won last week.
