Sprint King Matthew Glaetzer finished his heavy Commonwealth campaign with victory in the 1000m time trial.
 
Glaetzer, who twenty four hours earlier was upset in the men’s sprint rounds, achieved redemption in emphatic fashion, clocking the fastest time ever ridden at sea level, 59.340s.
 
As the last man to ride, Glaetzer knew he had to beat New Zealander Edward Dawkins's time of 59.928 seconds to take gold. He burst out of the blocks and vaulted himself to maximum speed, crossing the line in a blistering 59.340s.

YES YES YES ?

"It was big today ... after a shocking day yesterday," Glaetzer said.
 
"I had to regroup, sometimes things don't go the way you plan them. This is really good to come back and prove to yourself that you can do it, get one up for Australia, because I owed them one for yesterday, so I am over the moon.”
 
Glaetzer finishes the Games with two gold in the 1km TT and keirin, and one bronze in the team sprint.

"I had to get one for #Australia. I owed them one for yesterday". ?

Well ?? @MatthewGlaetzer, you've made this country very proud.

You're the real MVP ?@SamJaneLane#7CommGames #GC2018 pic.twitter.com/jmnjTGA6cS
