Great Britain won two medals, including elimination race gold from Matt Walls, on the first day of the European Track Championships in Bulgaria.
The 22-year-old secured Britain’s first medal of the event, with Portugal’s Iuri Leitao the runner-up and Russia’s Sergey Rostovtsev third.
Milly Tanner, Lusia Steele and Blaine Ridge-Davis then won silver in the three-woman team sprint.
The British trio crossed the line in 48.531 seconds to finish behind Russia.
The Russian team won gold in 46.852secs, with Ukraine taking bronze.
“It was a bit of an unknown coming here as I hadn’t done a race in a long time,” said Walls.
“I was just seeing if my tactics and race speed were there, so I’m glad to come away with a win.”
Katie Archibald, Elinor Barker, Neah Evans and Laura Kenny qualified fastest in the women’s team pursuit and are through to Thursday’s gold medal final.
