January 18, 2008 (Los Angeles, CA) — Here are the full results from Session 1 which included qualifications for the Men’s Team Sprint, Individual Pursuit and Points Race and for the Women’s Individual Pursuit, Scratch and Sprint.

Canada’s Zach Bell placed 4th in his qualifying heat in the men’s Points race while Canada’s Tara Whitten rode to a 9th place finish in the women’s individual pursuit. Whitten found herself sandwiched between two riders with world titles, just behind reigning points race world champion Kate Bates (Aus) and former ITT champ Karen Thurig (Sui). Whitten rode a time of 3:43.4, behind fastest qualifier Kalitovska of Ukraine with a 3:38.7.

There was a moment of real tension earlier in the day during the Olympic Sprint qualifying when at the start of the ride between Hong Kong and Russia, the gate didn’t release the Hong Kong starter. Apparently the gun to call the heat was never fired and one of the Russian riders collided full tilt with the Hong Kong rider. Thankfully both left the track under their own power and both teams rode the qualifyer after all the other heats were completed.
