Women’s Sprint

 JW31338

Only four riders managed to dip under 12 seconds in qualifying for the Women’s Sprint competition and the previous night’s 500m World Champion Danielle Khan proved she’s as quick over 200m. The Great Britain rider clocked 11.532, three tenths faster than her nearest rival Tenille Falappi of Australia. Yeonhee Jang of Korea put in another good performance after her Team Sprint Bronze medal on the opening night with a 11.966 – just ahead of Tatiana Kiseleva of Russia on 11.980.

Two more riders – Melissandre Pain of France and Martha Bayona of Colombia – joined the top 4 in receiving a bye in to the 1/8 Finals, while the other 12 went in to the sprinting competition proper in the first round.

Nicky Degrendele of Belgium – who was just a thousandth outside the top six times came through her opening sprint, as did Doreen Heinze of Germany, Soojin Kim of Korea, Tian Beckett of Australia, Deborah of India and Catherine Wernimont of Belgium. Wernimont was the only rider to beat a faster qualifier, although her heat was the centre of the draw and her opponent Tara McCormick of the USA had only outqualified her by a couple of hundredths.

The 1/8 Finals went to form, too with the six fastest qualifiers all progressing and the seventh and eighth fastest joining them from the Repechages.

In to the match sprinting proper and, although all four Quarter Finals were decided in two races, things didn’t go all the way of the fastest qualifiers. Khan eased past Heinze and Jang despatched Bayona but Falappi fell to Degrendele and Pain knocked out Kiseleva, who took the 5th place final.

Khan faces Pain in the Semi Finals with Jang taking on the fast improving Degrendele.

Men’s Omnium

 JW31569

The Men’s Omnium competition opened with the Flying Lap which saw 11 riders under 14 seconds – and separated by less than half a second. Indeed, the top 23 of the 24 riders were all within a second of the eventual winner Marc Jurczyk of Germany, who clocked 13.524.

Jack Edwards of Australia was just a hundredth back on 13.536 and Eric Johnstone of Canada a tenth behind them on 13.676.

Points Race

 JW32031

Casper Pedersen’s narrow win in the Points Race – beating Hardzei Tsishchanka in the final sprint to tie with the Belarussian on point – coupled with his sixth place in the Flying Lap was enough to move him in to the overall lead after the opening two events. Flying Lap winner Jurczyk could only managed 16th, so now sits 10 points behind the Dane.

Edwards moved into second overall, following his seventh place in the Points Race while Riccardo Minali’s pair of fifth places moved him up to third overall.

Hardzei Tsishchanka of Belarus took second in the Points Race, but his 16th place in the opening event saw him down in 9th while third placed Nicolas Navarro of Argentina climbed to sixth overall.

Elmination Race

Jurczyk returned to winning ways in the Elimination Race, riding the race from the front and outsprinting Edwards on the final lap. That was enough to lift Edwards into equal first place overall – tied on 11 points with Pedersen who hung on for fourth place in the ‘Devil’.

Jurczyk moves into third, seven points behind the leaders and tied with Minali, who finished eighth in the final race of the day.

Men’s 1km Time Trial

 JW32381

Jeahee Jung of Korea was the seventh of thirty riders to leave the starting gate in the Men’s Kilometre Time Trial and his time of 1:04.134 kept in on the top of the leaderboard while another 15 riders came and went.

As ever, many of them were quicker over the opening 500m but then the challenge faded as their legs buckled under the strain. Thomas Copponi of France finally toppled the Korea with a time of 1:04.134 but it looked as though the medals would go to riders in the 1:03s and it was Max Dornbach of Germany who was the first to dip under 1:04 with a 1:03.129.

Aleksandr Dubchenko of Russia split the German and the French man rider with a 1:03.227 and, in the final heat, Zac Shaw of Australia squeezed in to the medals with a 1:03.288, pushing Copponi out of the Bronze medal position.

Men’s Points Race

 JW33484

A cagey first half of the Men’s Points Race was finally electrified on lap 56 when a break of seven riders took a lap on the field. Liam Aitcheson of New Zealand, Emil Wang of Denmark, Facundo Crisafulli of Argentine, Julian Witt of Germany, Juan Osorio of Colombia and Thomas Benjamin of France then settled in to the pack where they remained the only riders a lap up at the finish.

Thomas racked up the points from the pack and had the race sewn up with two sprints still to go – 12 points clear by the end. The battle for the Silver and Bronze medals was a lot tighter with all but Witt of the break away group capable of taking the second spot on the podium.

It was Aitcheson who took it – by a point – from Oliveira, who edged Osorio and Wang on final lap finishing position.
