Coles-Lyster earned her second career Commonwealth medal after winning bronze in the women’s scratch race at the 2022 Games.

The 27-year-old said she was “really happy” to reach the podium after undergoing career-threatening iliac artery surgery last year.

“I had a career-changing surgery last year, so this has been my comeback year, and it’s also been my best season ever,” Coles-Lyster said in a press release. “Coming into these Games I thought ‘don’t leave without a medal’, so today was my last chance to make that happen and I’m really happy I did.

“To get the job done in the elimination today, my favourite event, was a great feeling and a big sigh of relief.”

The Commonwealth Games wrap Sunday evening after 10 days of competition.
