Track cycling world championships, gold and world record in Milan. Ganna bronze

Jonathan Milan wins the gold medal in the individual pursuit at the Track Cycling World Championships, underway in Shanghai.

The Italian beat the Dane Frederik Madsen in the final, after having set a new world record for the specialty in qualifying in the morning. Milan stopped the clock at 3'58"850, becoming the first athlete to go under the 3'59" barrier.

The previous record belonged to the same Italian cyclist, who on 18 October 2024, in the world championship final in Copenhagen against the British Josh Charlton, clocked 3'59"153. Milan thus improved its own record by 303 thousandths.

Filippo Ganna also won a bronze medal at the Shanghai World Championships, who won the final for third place beating the Dane Rasmus Pedersen.
