Russia's Anastasia Voynova upset four-time former champion Anna Meares of Australia to win the women's 500m timetrial at the World Track Cycling Championships on Thursday.
With the very last run, the 22-year-old clocked 33.149sec to beat world record holder Meares, 31, by just over a quarter of a second.
It denied Meares the opportunity to equal the record of five timetrial titles held by Frenchwoman Felicia Ballanger and Natalya Tsylinskaya of Belarus.
It also prevented Meares from claiming sole possession of the record number of women's world titles -- she remains stuck on 10 alongside Ballanger.
Germany's 2014 champion Miriam Welte finished third at the national velodrome in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines near Paris.
