Cycling: Ashton gets gold after appeal is successful

Jersey's Kim Ashton has won gold in the women's town criterium after Team Jersey's appeal against their penalty was successful.

Ashton crossed the line first in yesterday's race but there was immediately confusion as the host cyclists were penalised for turning up late to the start of the race after being given conflicting instructions.

But that decision has finally been reversed and the initial results of the race are now final.

That means her team-mate Clare Treharne also picks up a bronze medal.

As a result of those standings Jersey also won gold in the team event, her sixth of the Games, with Guernsey picking up silver.
