Franziska Brauße missed medal in Copenhagen - the disappointment is deep!

Kopenhagen, Dänemark - At the World Cycling Cup in Copenhagen, the German cyclist Franziska Brauße from Eningen narrowly missed her chance of a medal in the discipline of the 3000-meter tracking. The world champion from 2022 took fourth place in the final run and had to give up with a time of 3: 24.620 minutes by New Zealander Bryony Botha, who drove 3: 21.086 minutes. The title was surprisingly won by the British athlete Anna Morris, who defeated the defending champion and world record holder Chloe Dyert in the final.

"I was a bit missing the freshness. Two of the three drivers in front of me prepared especially for this competition," said Brauß after the race. Despite the disappointment, she can look back on a successful season with the German pursuers with whom she won silver. Nevertheless, she admitted that her entire season was not optimal and that she should listen to her body more to get back on track.
