Lotte Kopecky secured a silver medal in the Points Race at the World Track Cycling Championships held in Ballerup, Denmark, finishing just behind gold medalist Julie Leth.

Kopecky scored 40 points in the race, narrowly missing out on gold, as Leth finished with 43 points and Ireland's Lara Gillespie took bronze with 39 points.

During the race, Kopecky faced chain troubles that affected her performance, particularly during the crucial final sprint.

Wollaston, who had already won two golds and a bronze at the Championships, took the lead after sweeping an intermediate sprint.

In addition to her silver in the Points Race, Kopecky previously earned two titles at the European Track Cycling Championships and was the runner-up in the World Gravel Championships.

Kopecky's performance at the Championships, despite the mechanical issues, highlighted her resilience and skill as a top competitor.

This year has been exceptional for Kopecky, who also claimed the world road title in Zurich and became the European champion in the time trial.

In that final sprint, her equipment failure, when her chain came off, ultimately prevented her from competing for the gold.

Despite her strong start and efforts to gather points, Kopecky fell behind after competitors like Wollaston gained a lap advantage.

Other competitors, including Jennifer Valente and Alexandra Manly, also posed significant challenges throughout the race.

On the final day of the event, Belgian cyclist Jules Hesters finished 18th in the men's elimination race.

The Belgian delegation had a successful Championships overall, securing three medals, including a gold for Lindsay De Vylder in the omnium.
