Russia reached double figures for gold medals at the International Cycling Union (UCI) Junior Track Cycling World Championships in the Egyptian capital Cairo as their riders triumphed in four more events.

In the women’s points race, Alena Ivanchenko earned her second gold of the championships, having already contributed to a team pursuit success on Thursday (September 2).

Today’s race was held over 20km, and Ivanchenko cruised to victory after lapping the field three times to secure 60 lap points.

She added three points on the second sprint and five on both the third and the fifth to finish on 73 points.

Her nearest challenger was Italy’s Valentina Basilico on 54 points, while third place went to the United States’ Kala Schmid on 48 points - with both riders lapping the field twice.

Russia has now earned 10 golds at the championships.

In the men’s omnium, Radovan Stec of Czech Republic lapped the field twice in the final sprint race to secure a crucial 40 points which significantly contributed to his victory.

Stec was seventh after the scratch, tempo and elimination races, but a total of 65 points in the sprint saw him finish on 135.

Silver medallist Dylan Bibic of Canada earned 122 points.

Russia’s Daniil Valgonen had led on 106 points going into the sprint, but his failure to lap the field saw him have to settle for bronze with a finishing total of 111.

Mikita Semashko of Belarus almost pinched a podium position, but came fourth on 109 points.
