World Track Championships, Elia Viviani silver in the elimination

Elia Viviani took the silver medal in the Elimination race at the Track World Championships in Ballerup, Denmark. The gold è went to Denmark’s Tobias Aagaard Hansen, bronze for Canada’s Dylan Bibic. These are the words of Viviani.

"I ran well, a little bit; in my head I had the Olympics downgrade and so I had a little bit of fear that led me to always run in the lead. But the truth is; è that I had the legs to make second (place ed), becauseé the Dane è started in the lead and I couldn”’t catch up with him”.

Then when you see that you can’t, you give up becauseé anyway he had a superior sprint”, continued Viviani, who è to his fourth consecutive rainbow medal in this race after the golds of 2021 and 2022 and the bronze of 2023 and è the eighth among all specialties”.

"I was lackluster in the last sprint becauseé the head was brilliant to think but the legs not to respond”, concluded the Rio 2016 Olympic omnium champion who nevertheless judges his race largely positive.
