Saturday evening’s session saw the conclusion of the Women’s Sprint and Men’s Keirin competition, the Points and Elimination races from the Women’s Omnium, the Scratch and Kilo from the Men’s Omium and the Women’s Scratch race. It was a great evening’s racing, marred slightly by the injury to Azizulhasni Awang of Malaysia.

Women’s Sprint
The Semi Finals of the Women’s Sprint competition were undramatic. Meares had Panarina beaten without the Belarussian’s relegation in the second match. So, too did Guo who held of Pendelton with ease to got through in two.
The Final was a different story with Guo taking Meares the distance. In the first race, the Chinese rider led from the front – not necessarily the best tactic against a multiple World 500m Time Trial Champion… In the second, she got the jump on Meares to tie things up. The Final was closer, but Meares was able to use her power to take the Gold. Pendleton took the Bronze with two masterful wins over Panarina.

Men’s Keirin
There were two stories in the Men’s Keirin. On the one hand, Sir Chris Hoy won the Gold at a canter – powering away from the bunch out of turn 3, he was uncatchable. After the disappointment of the Sprint competition, it was a real boost to the Scot’s confidence and you could see the weight lifted from his massive shoulders – despite what had happened behind him.
Coming out of turn 4, Peralta of Spain clipped Awang of Malaysia and, in the ensuing chaos only Hoy escaped completely unharmed. Australian Jason Niblett of Jayco was clipped by a falling Eddie Dawkins of New Zealand but managed to regain control and cross the line in second. Dawkins went down, along with Peralta, Awang and Kuczynski of Poland.
Kuczynski and Awang got back up and rode across the line – Awang pipping the Pole for third place – and Dawkins and Peralta carried their bikes over the line. Peralta was relegated for causing the crash and Awang, having made it to turn 1, stopped again, only discover a huge wedge – splinter doesn’t do it justice – of Siberian pine through his calf and out again through his shin.
Initial reports are that the wound was clean and went with the grain of the muscle, so although it will be extremely painful, he should recover well. Awang clinched the World Cup series with the third place and we at trackcycling wish him a speedy recovery.
