Josh Charlton Sets World Record in Men's Individual Pursuit at Track Cycling World Championships

Posted : 19 October 2024

Britain's Josh Charlton made history on Friday at the Track Cycling World Championships in Denmark by setting a new world record for the men's individual pursuit during the qualifying rounds. He clocked an impressive time of 3 minutes and 59.304 seconds, surpassing the previous record of 3:59.636 set by Italy's Filippo Ganna in 2022. Ganna achieved this milestone while winning his sixth gold medal in the 4km event at the same championship.

 

At just 21 years old, Charlton has become only the third male cyclist to break the four-minute barrier in this discipline. Following his remarkable performance, he is set to compete against Italy's Jonathan Milan for the gold medal later on Friday. Milan qualified for the gold-medal race with a personal best time of 4:00.296 but faces a challenging path to victory, as he has previously earned two silver medals and one bronze in the last three world championships.

 

Charlton's success in the individual pursuit follows his achievement of a silver medal in the Men's Team Pursuit, where Team GB finished second to Denmark on Thursday. His performance highlights the growing strength of British cycling on the international stage.

 

In addition to Charlton's gold medal match, his teammate Charlie Tanfield is also in contention for a medal as he prepares to compete against fellow Briton Daniel Bigham in the bronze medal race. The events are set to showcase the depth of talent within the British cycling team and their determination to succeed at the world level.
