Track cycling star Emma Hinze impressively demonstrated her dominance with her fourth championship title at the national title fights in Kaarst-Büttgen.
Hinze wins the German Championships
The five-time world champion also won the sprint competition in the final against her training and team colleague Lea Sophie Friedrich, making her the most successful athlete at the 135th German Championships. She had already won in the team sprint, time trial and keirin cheered. Pauline Grabosch won the bronze medal.
After his triumph in the sprint, Stefan Bötticher also took the men's keirin title. The 30-year-old won the final ahead of Maximilian Dörnbach (RSC Cottbus) and Marc Jurczyk (Turbine Erfurt). "It went unexpectedly well. I'm super happy to go home with two championship titles. The last time I managed that was in Cottbus in 2014," said Bötticher.
Kluge/Reinhardt prevail in the Madison
Roger Kluge and Theo Reinhardt from Berlin came out on top in the Madison. The 2018 and 2019 world champions fended off the attack from Tim Torn Teutenberg and his partner Moritz Malcharek (Mettmann/Berlin). Teutenberg had previously won three gold medals in Büttgen.
The women's title went to the combination of Lena Charlotte Reißner/Lana Eberle (Gera/Oberhausen).
