Many wins at the Tokyo Olympics 2021

Many wins at the Tokyo Olympics

Because of Corona it was a long wait, but the Olympic Games were finally coming. The riders did everything they could to leave for Tokyo as fit as possible. On the latest track bike, the KOGA KINSEI, they had one goal in mind: to go for gold. And it worked.

 

In the team sprint it was the perfect opportunity to achieve that goal. Jeffrey Hoogland, Roy van den Berg, Harrie Lavreysen and Matthijs Büchli were victorious and took gold after a game against Great Britain.

 

Not only the men could be proud, because on the Keirin Shanne Braspannicx triumphed in a fabulous way and sprinted to the gold medal. In the men's eyes, the eyes were on Harrie Lavreysen, but thanks to a smart move by the British, Harrie won a bronze medal.

 

And then the sprint… it was exactly how a final should be. Harry to Jeffrey. It's about ultimate strength, tactics and using the right moments. A perfect interplay between the physical and mental condition of the two extremely strong men. After Jeffrey's first victory, Harrie managed to be a fraction faster, which was rewarded with a gold medal. Jeffrey went home with silver. It was a fantastic final that we will not soon forget.
