American cyclist Chloe Dygert romped to the individual pursuit world title on Thursday in Glasgow, Scotland. The 26-year-old from Indiana was so far ahead of defending champion Franziska Brausse in the finals that she passed the German on the final lap of the race. Dygert has overcome a career-threatening injury and several other issues the past few years to return to the top of the sport. In other events, Germany won the women's team sprint with a world-record time with Britain second and China third, and William Tidball of Britain won the men's scratch race with Kazushige Kuboki of Japan second and Belgium's Tuur Dens third.
