Friday 24th August:
Another brilliant result from the European Junior Track Championships in Aigle, Switzerland..having gone into the final event of the Omnium in 6th position Lara just came 4th after getting points in 5 of the 7 sprints - only 1 other rider got points in more sprints. What an amazing result.
We’re all so proud of you Lara

Lara has just won GOLD in the Points Race at the European Championships!!!
Lara was in third with a few laps to go and moved into first. The points then swung between her and the Belgian & Ukrainian riders before Lara jumped clear to win by 30points to 25.
All of this too was despite Lara being sick last night.
Congratulations Champ, what a well deserved win.

Lara is making the news for all the right reasons:)
Following on from her silver medal on Thursday in the Individual Pursuit and narrowly missing out on a podium place yesterday in the Omnium Lara cleaned up in the Points Race today and is now the European Junior Champion.
So far I have found articles on RTE and The42.ie (the sports section of the Journal.ie) I will post more links as I find them.

Wrapping up at the European Junior Track Championships in Aigle today - Lara Gillespie & Gabby Homer have just taken 4th in the Madison.
Where do they get the energy from?
That’s two 4th places, a silver and a gold for Lara this week - what a weeks work. Well done and now enjoy some well deserved rest.
