WARSOP BMX star Kelvin Batey picked up a bronze medal in the World BMX Championships - and promptly expressed his disappointment that he did not land gold.

Batey took third place in the Elite Men's Class in Victoria, Canada, and now has his eyes set firmly on the 2008 Olympics, when the sport is included for the first time.

"I've had second and third places before, so I was really hoping for a win," said Kelvin on his return from Vancouver Island.
