Despite the fact that there were only four events, it was a busy day at the Super Arena Ballerup on Saturday with three titles up or grabs as well as four places in the Men’s Sprint Semi-Finals.
Apologies for the lack of updates. Internet problems at our hotel mean that we have about an hour on Sunday morning to do everything we should have done on Saurday evening. All the pictures and a short report are now up and we’ll do our best to get the full results up during the day. Full picture gallery
The Women’s Omnium was the first – and last – event of the day and saw several changes o lead in the competition with dfferent winners in every event. Consistency meant that, going in to he final 500m Time Trial the overall lead was tied between Lizzy Armitstead of Great Britain and Tara Whitten of Canada, despit neither rider having won an individul event. Yvonne Hijgenaar of the Netherlands – who won the opening 200m Time Trial – took the 500m event as well, but Armitstead could only manage 9th with Whitten 3rd – giving Canada their first World Championship since 1993.

In the Men’s Sprint four riders – Kevin Sireau nd Gregory Bauge of France, Australia’s Shane Perkins and Britain’ Chris Hoy – went under 10 seconds with Bauge qualifying fastest in an impressive 9.896. It was Germany’s Robert Forstemann who impressed in the 1/8 Finals, getting the jump on Hoy and pulling out a 50 metre gap on the Olumpic Champion. Hoy closed him down and it went to a photo, but Forstemann held on. That meant the Repechages for Hoy and a Quarter Final meeting with Bauge. The Scot took the first, but Bauge eened things up and then took a frantic decider – putting Hoy into the 5th to 8th Final with team mates Crampton and Kenny. Bauge will meet Sireau in an all French match while Forstemann’s reward i a draw against Perkins.

In the Women’s Sprint, Victoria Pendleton cruised through her Semi Finals with Australia’s Anna Meares to meet Shuang Guo in the Final. Guo – who had fallen of in her Semi Final against Simona Krupeckaite of Lithuania while track standing on the back straight – was looking strong
and in the first leg of the Final it was Pendleton’s turn to fall off after truning sharply up the banking on the exit of turn 4 on the opening lap. Like Guo had done in the Semi, Pendleton got back up and won the heat – taking the title without the need for a 3rd match.

The Austalians hadn’t won a medal all day, but Cameron Meyer wasn’t going to break a winning streak. The French and Belgian pairings – Morgan Knieskyand Christope Riblon for Frane and Igmar de Poortere and Steve Schets for Belgium – took a lap early on and led for much of the race without having contested a sprint or scored a point. Meyer and hi team mate Leigh Howard, however, had been racking up points and when they took a lap in the last third of the race they took a lead that was never put in any danger. Not a bad week for Mr Mayer, who would currently be tied at the top of the Medals table if he was a country…
