Canadians Catharine Pendrel and Emily Batty won the gold and silver medals, respectively, in the women's mountain bike event Tuesday at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Pendrel, a 33-year-old who competes out of Kamloops, B.C., and is originally from Harvey Station, N.B., took the lead on the first of six laps at Cathkin Braes Country Park and never looked back. She finished in a time of one hour, 39 minutes, 29 seconds.
Batty, from Brooklin, Ont., finished a minute and 10 seconds behind. Bronze medallist Rebecca Henderson of Australia was 12 seconds back of Batty.
"We trained well as a team," Pendrel said. "I knew from training and the nationals that Emily was on fire, so I'm proud she got silver."
