Gold and bronze medals for Canadian cylists at UCI track World Cup
CAMBRIDGE, New Zealand – Calgary’s Allison Beveridge won her first individual World Cup race in the omnium event at the UCI track World Cup on Sunday while Monique Sullivan, also from Calgary, raced her way to the bronze medal in the women’s keirin.
In the ultimate race of the two-day event, Beveridge won four intermediate sprints and added three more points for a total of 23 points — and a cumulative total of 201 points — putting her atop the standings for gold.
She edged reigning world champion Annette Edmondson of Australia, who finished with 188 points, and Jolien D’Hoore of Belgium with 182 points.
Beveridge also won a silver medal on Saturday in the women’s team pursuit. Her victory on Sunday catapulted her into fourth place in the UCI World Cup rankings.
In the women’s keirin, Sullivan finished in second place in the opening round to avoid the repchage and advance to the semifinals.
Sullivan finished fourth in the medal race but third-place finisher Hyejin Lee of Korea was relegated, bumping Sullivan up.
