Five Titles Awarded on Second Day of Track Championships

Day 2 of the 2015 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in St-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France, saw five world titles awarded, with a second world record also set.


The first title was awarded in the women's 500 metre individual time trial, with the same three medalists as last year, but reverse order. Russia's Anastasia Voynova took gold after finishing in the bronze medal position last year, while world record holder Anna Meares of Australia retained silver, and defending champion Miriam Welte of Germany dropped to bronze.

The Team Pursuit for the  women  concluded this evening, with Australia finally breaking Great Britain's four year winning streak to take the title in a record-breaking time of 4:13.683; almost three seconds faster than the previous record of Great Britain, who took silver. Canada defeated New Zealand for the bronze medal.

"For the past couple of months all four of us have all been training inside and out, really hard," explained Amy Cure. "It is so special to share these special moments with these girls. We couldn't ask for anything else."

"Beating the Brits, who have dominated the past few years and we've always been trying to top them. They put out a bloody good effort, setting pretty much a world record as well and it took a lot to beat them, but we did."
