Der deutsche Bahnrad-Vierer bei der Rad-WM 2023 in Glasgow
After 21 years, the long wait for a World Championship medal continues for the once glorious German track cycling foursome.
Seventh place for German track cycling foursome
Theo Reinhardt, Tobias Buck-Gramcko, Joachim Eilers and Felix Groß finished seventh in the 4000 metre team pursuit in 3:51.282 minutes at the World Cycling Championships in Glasgow. At least the team of national coach Tim Zühlke collected important points for the Olympic qualification. The finals will be held on Saturday.
In 2002, the German foursome won silver in Copenhagen, their last medal, before the downward trend began. Until then, the team pursuit had been a great success story in German cycling. Five Olympic victories and 16 world championship titles were won by German teams in the past.
