'It's so close' – Finucane has to settle for keirin bronze Emma Finucane said she will "come back fighting" for gold medals after narrowly missing out on the top step of the podium for the third time at the Track Cycling World Championships, external in Shanghai. Finucane, 23, was forced to settle for bronze in Sunday's keirin after being pipped to the finish line by neutral athlete Alina Lysenko and Lea Friedrich of Germany after leading into the home straight. She finished just 14 thousandths of a second off top spot, with her bronze adding to silver medals won in the team sprint and individual sprint – both won by Chinese cyclists.
