GLASGOW (Reuters) - Kirsten Wild, a cycling sprint colossus on the road and track, added to her glittering palmares by winning the first cycling title of the new multi-sport European Championships in Glasgow on Friday.

On a night which saw one of Britain's great Olympians, Laura Kenny, return to golden ways in the team pursuit -- rather fittingly in the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome -- it was flying Dutchwoman Wild who provided the individual tour de force.
