Graeme Frislie finished 8th in Men’s Elimination Race on the second day of Track Worlds.

Day two of the 2026 UCI Track World Championships brought the Women’s Elimination, Men’s Scratch, and Women’s Sprint tournament, with the highlight coming from Megan Jastrab, who rode to a hard-earned bronze in the Elimination race.

Women’s Elimination

Twenty-three riders lined up for the Women’s Elimination race, with Megan Jastrab (Apple Valley, Calif.; UAE Team ADQ) representing the United States. Jastrab rode a near-flawless race, staying active at the front without burning too much energy ahead of the closing laps. The finish came down to razor-thin margins and a photo at the line, and Jastrab scored the bronze medal. It marks her first individual Elite Track World Championship medal, adding to a resume that already includes several junior medals and world titles.

Results:

1. Lotte Kopecky (BEL)

2. Yumi Kajihara (JPN)

3. Megan Jastrab (USA)

Men’s Scratch

Graeme Frislie (Paradise, Au.; CCACHE x Bodywrap) lined up for Team USA in the Men’s Scratch Race, facing 22 other riders. He rode a strong, tactical race to finish 8th in a highly contested field.

Results:

1. Matthew Bostock (GBR)

2. Tom Sexton (NZL)

3. Lindsey de Vylder (BEL)

8. Graeme Frislie (USA)

Women’s Sprint

McKenna McKee (Vancouver, Wash.) opened the sprint tournament in Shanghai with a run at the flying 200m qualifier. With 28 riders advancing, McKee rode a strong effort but missed the cut, finishing 34th. She was just 0.161 seconds shy of the final qualifying time and 0.961 off the fastest qualifier.
