Jess Varnish claimed her third title at the British Track Cycling Championships on Saturday when she teamed-up with Danielle Khan to win the women's team sprint.
The pair edged out Katy Marchant and Victoria Williamson in the final, earning Varnish another gold medal.
The 23-year-old from the midlands has already secured the sprint and 500m time trial titles and she could add a fourth on the final day of competition when she goes in the women's keirin.
Meanwhile, also in Manchester, Callum Skinner claimed his third title of the week after surviving a photo finish against Matthew Crampton in the third and decisive heat of the men's sprint.
Laura Trott collected gold in the women's scratch with a late burst around the final bend to fend off Emily Kay and Dani King who was third.
And Mark Stewart sealed victory in the men's points race, coming from behind over the final two sprints to beat Mark Christian with Tristan Robbins third.
