Last year Josephine Tomic won the World Championship Omnium; 10 days ago she won another World Championship in the Women’s 3000m Team’s Pursuit, held in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Josephine was joined by Ashlee Ankudinoff and Sara Kent to form Australia’s winning team. The women rode a time of 3 minutes 21 seconds, beating the Brits by half a second.
The Great Britain team had dominated this event since its inclusion at the World Championships so to win the final against the British team made this win extremely satisfying for the Australian Trio.
Josie was very emotional after winning this world title, she only had a few months to come back from a serious injury in December, she said “I’ve worked so hard for this; it’s like a dream come true”.
Unfortunately Josie crashed during the 2010 Omnium scratch race and was unable to continue her attempt to regain her Omnium World Title.... I guess one World Title a year is enough?
Josephine will now re-join the Lotto Ladies Team and focus on the European road season starting with the Drenthe World Cup in Holland this weekend. Josie started her 2010 road season with Lotto Ladies Team by winning the Australian U23 National TT back in January.
