Second gold medal of the day for Italy on the track, second confirmation of a title won a year ago: after Matteo Bianchi, the women's pursuit quartet also repeats the title won last year. Martina Alzini, Martina Fidanza, Chiara Consonni and Vittoria Guazzini confirmed what they showed in qualification and the first round by beating Germany's Brausse, Klein, Kröger and Susselmich.

The Azzurre finished in 4.14.213, the Germans pedaled in 4.14.939.

Bronze medal for Great Britain's Lister, Leech, Lewis and Morris, who clearly prevailed over France's Borras, Cabot, Chereau and Dupin: 4.18.147 for the British, 4.23.355 for the French.
