COMMONWEALTH GAMES: Armitstead has a decision to make ahead of London 2012

From James Toney, Sportsbeat, in Delhi

 LIZZIE Armitstead punched the air as she crossed the finish line at the Commonwealth Games - but it was a fist pump of frustration rather than elation.

SECOND BEST: Lizzie Armitstead (L) is left to rue what might have been after taking road race silver in Delhi

Armitstead claimed she had missed her chance for gold after settling for road race silver behind Australia's Rochelle Gilmore, who was always strongly fancied in predicted bunch sprint conclusion to 112km of racing.

She has long been regarded as a medal prospect at the highest level, with an impressive junior career before she stepped up with golds in the omnium and team pursuit at this year's World Championships in Copenhagen.

The challenge for the 21-year old is now to decide where she will aim her medal intentions for London 2012.

British Cycling are keen to focus athletes on one, rather than multiple, targets.

Armitstead's reputation as an all-rounder means she could not only compete in the road race but also on the track, in not just the omnium - the multi-discipline event - but also as team of the women's team pursuit squad.

"I'm going to have to look at where I develop my abilities," she said.

"I'm a bit of an all-rounder, so I'm going to have to make a few decisions about what I focus on.

"I don't want to label myself as a sprinter because that can trap you sometimes. Versatile is good, until you keep getting silvers."
