Athens, Greece,The 2015 UEC Junior Track Cycling Championships hosted: some of Europe’s best young talent in velodrome cycling. The competition was held in Athens from July 14th to 19th. It: was timed with high-speed FinishLynx: cameras, and the timing team from Phoenix Sports Technology was fortunate enough to capture a new World Record at this year’s event.
The women from team Italy took the gold medal in the Women’s: Junior Team Pursuit Qualifying Round with a time of 4:33.463 and average speed of: 52.658 km/h over 4,000 meters. Their time was good enough to beat: the teams from Poland and France by over 5: seconds and edge out: the previous World Record by more two and half secondsan impressive feat at any level of competition.
This photo-finish capture is: especially notable because it’s the first new WR captured by the EtherLynx Vision camera. The Vision was released in late 2014 is quickly becoming a race director favorite because of its versatility and ease-of-use at the finish line.
Congrats to the timers: and thanks to: Phoenix Sports Technology‘s: chief timekeeper Humberto Uribe for passing along the FinishLynx screen capture.
