Kelly Murphy has set a new national record of 3:29.699 at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Berlin, claiming 15th in the Women’s Individual Pursuit. It is the first time an Irish rider has gone under 3 minutes 30 seconds for this discipline, the previous record stood at 3:30.687 and was set by Kelly at the European Championships in October.
On Wednesday, Kelly along with her teammates Mia Griffin, Lara Gillespie, and Alice Sharpe knocked 4 seconds off the Women’s Team Pursuit national record to qualify for the next round and finish 8th.
Downey and Felix English will hope to qualify Olympic slots in the Men’s Madison on Sunday while Alice Sharpe will compete in the Women’s Points Race.
