Australia defended its title in the men's team pursuit on Thursday at the world track cycling championships. We had a 3:52 in mind to ride ... and we beat it by a second and that was enough to win the world title," Meyer said. In the women's team pursuit, Kelly Catlin, Chloe Dygert, Kimberly Geist and Jennifer Valente of the United States retained their world title in the closet race of the evening, beating Australia by only .417 seconds. New Zealand took bronze. Fabian Hernando Puerta Zapata of Colombia was second and Thomas Babek of the Czech Republic took bronze.
