Paris gold medalist Maike Hausberger won silver at the Para World Championship in Ronse in Belgium in the time trial. In the WC2 class, the 30-year-old lacked a little over 14 seconds for the winner and world champion Flurina Rigling from Switzerland on Friday. Bronze secured the American Allison Jones.
“It was a very long and hard race – the longest time trial that I have ever driven,” said Hausberger: “I can be absolutely satisfied with my performance and the silver medal.”
In the time trial of the WC3 class, Marie Quellhorst cheered over a silver medal. In the victory of the Australian Emily Petricola, the German was 22.32 seconds slower. “When I finished the finish and was told that it was a very good race, I thought of a top 6 position,” said the 26-year-old source base: “The fact that I now take a medal home has not yet been properly arrived.”
For men, Pierre Senska secured bronze in the fight against the clock in the MC1 class. “Our race was brutally difficult in the rain. I drove the first round very controlled, but when the national coach told me that it looks really good, I thought: now everything or nothing,” said Senska.
After the second day of competition in Belgium, the German para-cycling national team is with eight medals. On the first day of the competition, the national coach team had already won three silver and two bronze medals. The World Cup in Ronse ends on Sunday.
