After the sixth place in the afternoon, the Venetian dominates the track test of which he is also world champion. It is the seventh track medal for Italy
Generous, immense, a crystalline talent on the track. Elia Viviani gives himself a special, particular Sunday, full of twists. In 5 hours he goes from the disappointment of sixth place in the road test to a shining gold in the Elimination. In the test in which the 33-year-old standard-bearer at the Tokyo Games was crowned world champion, Viviani managed every sprint to perfection, reaching the final head-to-head with the German Theo Reinhardt easily beaten. Bronze to the Belgian Jules Hesters. Viviani’s is the seventh medal of the Italian track expedition.

The bronze went to the French Victoire Berteau.
