Maggie Coles-Lyster got things started for Canada with a silver medal in the women’s scratch race. Kate Archibald of Great Britain took gold while Yumi Kajihara of Japan won bronze.
Lauriane Genest soon added to the Canadian medal count with a silver in the women’s sprint, finishing behind Emma Hinze of Germany.
Finally, Tokyo 2020 gold medallist Kelsey Mitchell topped off the day by taking bronze in the women’s keirin. Mitchell finished 0.140s behind the winner, Lea Friedrich of Germany. Hinze rounded out the podium with silver.
