“It’s an indication of my preparation.” Burlakova broke the flat world record in the 500m

Yana Burlakova, winner of the World Track Cycling Championships, broke the flat world record for the 500 meters standing still.

With a score of 32.667 seconds, she won the Russian championship in this type of program. The world record on the high altitude track belongs to Mexican Jessica Salazar – 32.268. The flat record was previously held by Germany’s Emma Hinze (32.668).

– Initially, I really wanted to set a record for Russia in this championship. We wanted to do it in the team sprint – it didn’t work out, then we wanted to do it in the 200m sprint – a little wasn’t enough. And here, out of the “five hundred”, I am very pleased with myself. It’s not an Olympic sport, but it’s an indicator of my progress, of my preparation.

I am generally dissatisfied with my Keirin in the Russian Championship, in principle I am satisfied with the sprint. There are mistakes in tactics, but the physical form is more than good, Burlakova told “”.
