Sophie Thornhill and Neil Fachie then defended their blind/visually impaired tandem 1km time trial titles with their respective pilots, Helen Scott and Pete Mitchell.
Storey clocked a winning time of 37.847 seconds for her time trial, beating the previous leading time set by team-mate Crystal Lane by 0.03 seconds to secure the 10th track world title of her career.
Reigning world champion and world-record holder Jufang Zhou, of China, was unable to break 38 seconds, leaving the British pair to celebrate.
