GOLD COAST, Australia — Canadian Haley Smith won bronze behind a pair of English riders in the women’s cross-country mountain biking event at the Commonwealth Games on Wednesday.
Annie Last won in one hour 18.02 seconds, finishing 48 seconds ahead of teammate Evie Richards. Smith, a 23-year-old from Uxbridge, Ont., was 2:24 behind the winner.
“I don’t know how to feel yet. I did not expect to win a medal today,” said Smith.
Emily Batty of Brooklin, Ont., a silver medallist four years ago in Glasgow and fourth-place finisher at the Rio Olympics, was fourth — 36 seconds behind Smith.
