UCI TRACK CHAMPIONS LEAGUE ATHLETES MAKE THEIR MARK AT UCI NATIONS CUP IN ADELAIDE

Adelaide, Australia hosted the first of three UCI Track Nations Cup rounds which will complete the qualifying period for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Across the three-day event in the Adelaide Super-Drome, 16 medals were won by 11 UCI Track Champions League athletes, with seven riders taking golds.

2023 Champions League endurance champion, Katy Archibald (Great Britain) put on an exceptional performance, claiming a gold in madison, silver in omnium and a silver in the team pursuit. Fellow Briton Katy Marchant also saw success, winning a silver medal in keirin and a gold in the team sprint. 

Reigning men’s endurance Champions League winner, Dylan Bibic (Canada) had an outstanding showing, picking up two gold medals in the elimination and omnium events. Australia’s Matthew Richardson also had a great performance on home soil, winning gold in the team sprint and silver in the sprint event. 

Other gold medallists included: William Tidball (Great Britain - team pursuit), Emma Finucane (Great Britain - team sprint) and Sophie Capewell (Great Britain - team sprint). 

Several riders also claimed podium positions: Theo Reinhardt (Germany - silver in madison), Lauriane Genest (Canada - bronze in keirin), Lily Williams (USA - bronze in madison) and Ellesse Andrews (New Zealand – bronze in team sprint).

The day after securing her bronze medal, Andrews crashed into the track during the sprint semi-final, breaking her collarbone. The 2023 UCI Track Champions League Women Sprint Champion will be hoping to be fit before the start of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. We wish her a speedy recovery!

The athletes will head to Hong Kong (China, March 15-17) then Canada (Milton, April 12-14) for the final two rounds of the Nations Cup.
