Very fascinating races, for the Women’s Sprint champion title, were ridden between Pendleton and Kanis. During three heats, many a time, spectators had an opportunity to admire neck-and-neck fights, and the victory must have been decided on the basis of the photo finish. Ultimately, British triumphed by 2:1.
Another medal was earned by Krupeckaite, who didn’t have much difficulty in beating Belorussian Olga Panarina. But this time, during the Track Worlds in Pruszkow, Lithuanian had to settle for the bronze.
