Bird
Ligtlee there failed to address the world title at the sprint. The 20 year old rider from Eerbeek had in the final two heats recognize the superiority of defending champion Kristina Vogel from Germany. Ligtlee must therefore be satisfied with silver.
Especially in the first heat was tense between the two riders. From the photo finish showed that the German her wheel a fraction earlier had pushed over the line than Ligtlee. In the second round at the velodrome of Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, the difference was greater.
For Ligtlee earlier this season won the World Cup in the sprint, it is her first medal at a World Cup. Earlier this tournament they still finished fourth in the 500 meters time trial. In the battle for bronze in the sprint won the Chinese Tianshi Zhong of Australian Stephanie Morton.
Veldt
In the men succeeded Tim Veldt not to win a medal in omnium . Veldt was the last of the six parts, the points race in eighth but could not improve that ranking. He slumped despite winning a few sprints to place ten.
The world title went to Fernando Gaviria, who was the most constant. The Colombian made earlier this season on the road already impressed by Mark Cavendish in a sprint to beat twice.
Silver was for the Australian Glenn O’Shea, while the Italian Elia Viviani had to be satisfied with the third place
