BERLIN - Yumi Kajihara became the first Japanese woman to be crowned as a world track cycling champion as she claimed gold in the omnium, while Italy’s Filippo Ganna kept the records tumbling with a masterful day of riding on Friday.
She built her lead with a second place in the tempo race and a third spot in the elimination event and easily protected her advantage in the points race, the last discipline.“I’m very, very happy,” Kajihara said. “My ultimate goal is to get the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.” “I didn’t expect this,” she said. “But I felt strong. I learned a lot watching Kristina, that even if it doesn’t work at first, you stick at it and you can win.”
A relentless ride saw him beat his previous record of 4:02.647. Although his pace in the final slowed, it was more than enough to overpower Lambie and collect his second medal here after leading Italy to bronze in the team pursuit.Ganna’s world record was the sixth in three days at the championships after Denmark’s men broke the team pursuit record three times on the way to gold and the Dutch men twice lowered the world record to take the team sprint.
Kenny’s crash, which left her with four stitches next to her right eye, but thankfully no more shoulder damage, summed up a poor championships so far for the British team who had topped the 2016 Rio Olympics track cycling medals table with six golds, four silvers and one bronze.“It’s just been one of those months. One to forget,” four-time Olympic champion Kenny, who broke her shoulder in a crash in Canada last month but opted against surgery, said.
