Cycling: Emma Hinze won her next gold medal at the Track Cycling World Championships in Berlin. The 22-year-old was unstoppable in the women's sprint.
Emma Hinze is happy about her second gold medal
The day before yesterday in the team sprint, today in the sprint: Emma Hinze was crowned world champion for the second time in the Berlin Velodrome. On the fast track, the 22-year-old didn't give Wai Sze Lee from Hong Kong a chance in the semifinals and Anastasiia Voinova from Russia in the final. She was again responsible for the only German medal of the day. Ultimately, there were no Germans and Austrians at the start in the women's omnium. At the end of the third day of competition, Andrea Waldis from Switzerland only came in 18th. Gold went to Japan's Yumi Kajihara.
No medals for German speaking gentlemen
In the three men's decisions, the drivers of the German-speaking nations got nothing today. When Dutchman Sam Ligtlee won the 1.000 meter time trial, Maximilian Dornbach finished sixth. New Zealander Corbin Strong won the points race. Cyrille Thiery from Switzerland, Moritz Malcharek from Germany and Stean Mastaller from Austria had to settle for places 6, 10 and 13.
In the individual pursuit it got tight again – and record-breaking. Because while the Italian Filippo Ganna set a new record with a fantastic time of 4:01,934, the German-speaking pros just missed the podium. The Germans Felix Gross and Domenic Weinstein finished 5th and 9th. The Swiss Stefan Bissegger and Claudio Imhof finished 6th and 7th.
