After two splendid silver medals in the kilometre time trial and the sprint, Maya Ferrante claims what was missing: the gold medal in the junior women's keirin. A complete victory, well-deserved, built with clarity and courage by the cyclist from Pergine Valsugana in Trentino, who becomes world champion at the end of a final raced with the maturity of an athlete already ready for the big leap.

Ferrante dominates the decisive sprint and beats Russian Viktoria Luchina, while bronze goes to German Celine Prochnau, who was never really able to trouble the Italian rider in the crucial phase of the race.
