Track Cycling – World Championship 2022 – DAY 1 🇬🇧 – Sir Chris Hoy Velodrom, Glasgow
The UCI Track Cycling World Championships are the set of world championship events for the various disciplines and distances in track cycling. They are regulated by the Union Cycliste Internationale. Before 1900, they were administered by the UCI’s predecessor, the International Cycling Association (ICA). Current events include: time trial, keirin, individual pursuit, team pursuit, points race, scratch race, sprint, team sprint, omnium and madison. Women’s events are generally shorter than men’s. Events which are no longer held include the motor paced events and tandem events. The 2023 UCI Track Cycling World Championships are held from 3 to 9 August 2023, at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow, Scotland. It is the 120th edition of the UCI Track Cycling World Championships, and is being held as part of the inaugural UCI Cycling World Championships.

The first three elite world titles of the unified Cycling World Championships, being held in Glasgow and across Scotland, were awarded on the track in the opening day of competition on Thursday.
American Chloé Dygert claimed the first elite gold medal of the UCI Cycling World Championships, by setting the fastest time in the women’s individual pursuit. The 2022 world champion Franziska Brausse of Germany secured the silver.
Just like in the qualifying round, Dygert put down the best time ahead of Brausse. In the gold medal round, she led from start to finish, increasing her gap to a massive 5 seconds at the 2500 metres before overtaking Brausse in the final 125 metres. Dygert’s winning time of 3.17.26 on the 4km race, was slightly slower than her world record – set in 2020 – of 3:16.937. While delighted to take the victory, the rider from the United States had hoped to take the opportunity to better her record as well.
“I know I just won the rainbow stripes, but I don’t feel like I’m quite back at my absolute best yet,” said Dygert in a statement from Canyon-SRAM. “In the last 12 months, I’ve had heart surgery, a few crashes and some small injuries. I was here in the best shape I could be, but I want to improve in the future … That said, I’m happy to be on the step tonight and love the process of getting back to my best.”
The battle for bronze was taken by Bryony Botha (New Zealand) edging out Neah Evans (Great Britain).
Dygert will also represent the United Startes in the team pursuit on August 5. She will then line up in the time trial & road race at the UCI Road World Championships.

Lea Sophie Friedrich, Pauline Sophie Grabosch and Emma Hinze set another world record en route to claiming the rainbow jersey in the elite women’s team sprint for the fourth time in a row.

They beat Great Britain’s Lauren Bell, Sophie Capewell and Emma Finucane to claim gold. After the British riders stunned Germany in the qualifying round, besting the defending champion team by 0.395 seconds, they came out fast out of the gate but Germany was ahead after 125 metres and on a record-setting pace.
China (Shanju Bao, Yufang Guo and Liying Yuan) beat the Netherlands for the bronze medal.

Great Britain claimed their first elite world title of the 2022 UCI Track World Championships with William Tidball winning the men’s Scratch Race. A powerful sprint on the final lap secured him the rainbow jersey.
“It’s stuff dreams are made of – I haven’t caught my breath since coming off the track. My family and I have sacrificed so much to be here and to be a world champion in front of a home crowd, it doesn’t get much better than that,” said Tidball in a statement put out by British Cycling.
“I just did my bit in that race. It’s easy to get excited and do too much and draw a lot of attention to yourself so everyone thinks you’re the strongest but luckily everyone forgot about me! It’s amazing.”
Kazushige Kuboki of Japan took silver and Tuur Dens (Belgium), bronze.
