Remember the name, Erin Boothman.
Already projected to be the next big thing in Scottish cycling, the 19-year-old lived up to early expectations, kickstarting a lively and medal-laden night at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome - a place she has been coming to for a decade.
She looked right at home, beating reigning Commonwealth Games champion Bryony Botha to bronze in the women's 4,000m individual pursuit before reappearing in the 10,000m scratch race final "expecting nothing".
A photo-finish, but ultimate fourth-place finish was exciting enough, but as she made her round the mixed zone, news hit that she was upgraded to third. Another bronze in the bag.
A third for Scotland on Friday, with Fin Graham grabbing the slab of metal in the men's C1-C3 1000m TT final.
