Siegte im Finale über 3000 Meter in 3:19,427 Minuten: Franziska Brausse.
Franziska Brauße won gold in the individual pursuit for the first time in her career at the Track Cycling World Championships.
Brauße prevails against Botha
After bronze in 2020 and silver in 2021, she won the 3000-metre distance on the Olympic track in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. Brauße won the final in 3:19.427 minutes, narrowly beating New Zealand's Bryony Botha (3:19.869). European champion Mieke Kröger, on the other hand, missed out on bronze in the small final against Great Britain's Josie Knight.
This is Brauße's first major success in the individual discipline. She had previously won gold with the foursome in Tokyo as well as two European Championship titles and World Championship gold in 2021. In France, the foursome had only managed sixth place after a personnel upheaval.
