00:00Day 2 was another chance for a young cyclist to put themselves in contention for medals in the women's sprint and men's curing at the Vidina Velidrome in Lima.
00:08Kyra Williams, the lone female of the four-member squad, impressed Illy, finishing with the fifth fastest time in the sprint qualifying round, stopping the clock at 12.063 seconds.
00:18She breezed through the round of 16, beating Chile's Yolina Barraza, before getting her tactics right against Ariel Greaves of Barbados.
00:30And she took the early initiative in the second race to book a semi-final spot with a slightly closer finish.
00:39Kyra Williams intenta la corredora de Trinidad y Tobago ahora, eh.
00:47Ataca y controla.
00:49Ataca Trinidad y controla a su oponente, la corredora de Barbados, Ariel Greaves.
00:57Viene Trinidad ahora, doblando se en el último peralte ahora frente a la línea de meta, Trinidad.
01:03Williams with a shot of the medal round, where she can emulate Makaira Wallace, who won silver in the same event last year.
01:10After winning goal in the team sprint on day one, TNT's Jelani Ned and Javon Ramroop had a challenge in the opening round of the men's curing.
01:18Both missed automatic qualification, having to make it through the repercharge.
01:22Ramroop finished fourth in his repercharge, failing to advance, while Ned progressed with a second-place finish.
01:27Trinidad, Ecuador, Chile. Vamos a ver el ojo.
01:34Trinidad, ooh la la. Trinidad, Ecuador, Chile. Vamos a ver el oficial.
01:39But the semi-final was as far as Ned would go as he finished at the back of the field.
01:44Ned is the only remaining member of the 2024 team that captured eight medals at the Junior Pan Am Cycling Championships at the same venue.
