Nicholas Paul golden, Kwesi Browne grabs bronze in Germany
TT s Nicholas Paul -
Olympic-bound cyclists Nicholas Paul and Kwesi Browne pedalled to gold and bronze, respectively, in the men’s sprint event at the International Rail Tour and Cycling Bundelsiga 2021 in Germany on Sunday.
Against regional rival and fellow World Cycling Centre training partner Jair Tjon En Fa (Suriname) in the final, Paul cruised to victory in two straight rides along the 198-metre concrete track.
Sunday’s final was a repeat result of a semi-final round ride between the two at the 2021 International Belgian Track Meeting five weeks ago. There, Paul advanced to the final, but took silver after he lost to 2012 Olympic gold medallist Jason Kenny of Great Britain.

In the men’s sprint final, the 23-year-old was unable to get past the experienced tactics of 2012 London Olympic gold medallist Jason Kenny (Great Britain).
