Holland's Kirsten Wild won her second gold medal at the world championships on Friday when she added the omnium title to her win in the scratch final.

The 35-year-old saw off Denmark's Amalie Didericksen and Rushlee Buchanan of New Zealand in the four-discipline omnium.

She won the scratch and the elimination, was fifth in the tempo and then took first place in the points race.
