Katie Archibald completed a home nations clean sweep of the medals by finishing third in the women's points race at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome.
The 20-year-old from Milngavie finished just four points adrift of double Olympic champion Laura Trott of England and Wales' Elinor Barker.
Trott finished level with her Team GB colleague on 37 points after 25 hotly-contested kilometres but secured top spot on the podium by pipping Barker in the very last sprint - and only then after studying replays.
The English athlete won two of the 10 sprints on offer, with Barker taking three, but the former's consistency - registering in all but four of the scoring laps - kept her towards the top of the standings throughout.
Barker's final sprint victory saw her take the lead with 10 laps remaining but Trott moved level by claiming three points to her rival's two at the death.
Trott said: "It's absolutely unbelievable, I've had such a bad week of it with the kidney infection.
"It really set me back and knocked my morale a bit.
"I've hardly eaten for two days, I've been living off porridge and I don't like porridge.
"I felt so bad at time during that race but I'm really happy to have pulled it off."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
