Minsk 2019. Yauheni Karaliok secures bronze at 2nd European Games in track cycling

On June, 27, the first medal events were held in track cycling at the 2nd European Games. Belarusian cyclist Yauheni Karaliok finished third.

Gold went to Volikakis Christos of Greece (17:57). The silver was claimed by Poland's Filip Kazimierz Prokopyszyn. Yauheni Karaliok closed the top three. 

Yauheni Karaliok: «I felt a little disappointed, after the race. Win always means something special, it means you're the best. It was visible that I was among the strongest ones during the race. Last year I became the Champion and for the whole season I was wearing Champion’s clothing. And my rivals know me, they know what I am capable of. That's why they were looking back during the race. So I had to go at full strength.».

Congratulations to the athlete and the Belarusian track cycling team on winning the first medal!
