In today's Omnium, the overall winner was determined by the total points accumulated across the Scratch, Elimination, Tempo, and Points races, requiring a carefully executed strategy to win. Valente, a seasoned Omnium racer, began her day with a 14th place finish in the Scratch Race, earning 14 points, followed by a 10th place result in the Tempo Race, adding 22 points to her total. She then competed in her third race of the day, the Elimination Race, where she stayed in contention until the very end. In a final sprint against Ally Wollaston (NZL), she finished in second place. The final event of the Omnium, the Points Race, decided it all. Valente started with 74 points, while the leaders held just over 100. After a hard race, she finished with 82 points, securing ninth place overall.
