Vogel wins record-tying 11th women's world cycling title

APELDOORN, Netherlands (AP) — Kristina Vogel of Germany won a record-tying 11th women's world cycling title when she took out the individual sprint at the track world championships on Friday.

Vogel, Olympic champion in the discipline, was taken to a tiebreaking third race by Stephanie Morton, but comfortably won her fourth gold medal in five years in the event, and second straight against the Australian.

Having won the team sprint on Wednesday, Vogel tied Anna Meares' record for most women's world titles.

"At the moment and on this day I'm not counting," Vogel said. "It was very hard at the end and it took me three final heats to get the gold medal.
