In the first round of the men's keirin, Matt Baranoski (Perkasie, Pa./Custom Velo) finished fourth in the fourth heat, just 0.258 seconds off the lead. He survived the repechage heat and moved on to the second round, where he took 11th overall. Stefan Botticher of Germany took the top prize, followed by Colombia’s Fabian Hernando Puerta Zapata, who crossed 0.039 seconds later, and Christos Volikakis of Greece, who finished 0.099 seconds off the lead.
In the women's sprint, Mandy Marquardt (Allentown, Pa./Team Novo Nordisk) posted an 11.896-second run, which was the 35th-best time of the qualifier. German Kristina Vogel bested Anastasiia Voinova of Russia for the gold, while Elis Ligtlee of the Netherlands picked up bronze.
