EMMA Finucane will be chasing more than just medals at next month's European Championships as she eyes a world record chance in Turkey.

- By IAN PARKER

The former world champion will be bidding to reclaim the European sprint title she won in 2024 - having not defended it last year - but the 23-year-old expects the qualifying rounds to be as spectacular as the finals with several riders having their eyes on the record books.

That is because the Konya velodrome is among the fastest on the planet - last August Finucane was there to watch her partner Matthew Richardson become the first man ever to complete a flying 200 metre lap in less than nine seconds, setting a new record at 8.857 seconds.
