December 16, 2006 (Moscow, Russia) – We originally heard that Curt Harnett’s 11-year-old World Record of 9.865 set in Bogota, Columbia at the World Championships in 1995, fell today to young Dutch superstar Theo Bos, however official times now available say Bos rode a 9.892, or just under 73kph. We have removed that post and will clarify this as we find out more. (Bos did break Harnett’s record – click here for more info.)

In sprint action in the rounds Theo Boss, Maximilian Levy (Ger), Stefan Nimke (Ger) and Craig McLean (GB) have all progressed to the medal rounds.

Lizandra Guerra of Cuba avenged her loss in the sprints yesterday to Natallia Tyslinskaya (Blr), beating her by 5 tenths in the 500m time trial.

In the women’s pursuit qualifying, Wendy Huvenhagel rode a 3.39.79 to lead a British 1-2 charge just ahead of countrywoman Rebecca Romero.
