New Zealand has another BMX cycling world champion in Gisborne teenager Abigail Fox.

Fox, who was fourth in the challenge age group racing on the first day of the world championships in Denmark, prevailed in the cruiser class for the larger 24 inch diameter wheeled bikes at Copenhagen today.

It was one of three medals won by New Zealand riders today, along with the silvers secured by another Gisborne rider, 16-year-old Monique Smith, and Hamilton's Paul Luttrell in the 44-49 years age group.

New Zealand ended the championships with a haul of 11 medals.

Next year's world championships are in England before the focus shifts to Auckland for the 2013 event.
