World records and medals for NSWIS cyclists in Brisbane

Australia was host to the 2019-2020 Tissot UCI Track Cycling World Cup over the weekend held at Brisbane’s Anna Meares Velodrome.

It was a rare opportunity for Australian track cyclists to compete in front of a home crowd.

Beginning the schedule were the Para-Cyclists and NSWIS cyclists Amanda Reid and Gordon Allan shone with both breaking world records in their pet events.

Gordon Allan took gold in the 1km Time Trial – C2 in the world record time of 1:11.868. Allan then backed the ride up with silver in both the Individual Pursuit and Scratch Race.

Amanda Reid took home multiple gold medals which included an incredible world record time of 39.149 in  the Time Trial before also winning gold in the Individual Pursuit.

NSWIS associate cyclist and reigning world champion Ash Ankudinoff put on an incredible show for Aussie fans with her teammates to take gold in the Women’s Team Pursuit over cross-tasman rivals New Zealand. The win is a great momentum builder for the team as they set their sights on Tokyo.
