Final Day Results, UCI World Track Cup, TrexlertownFor Immediate Release, May 31, 1997Contact: Frank Stanley, USCF Communications Manager, (719) 578-4581 Darryn Hill of Australia completed the World Track Cup double, beating world champion Marty Nothstein in the keirin Saturday at the second round of the UCI World Track Cup at Lehigh Valley Velodrome. Hill used a powerful move to come over the top of Nothstein with a lap to go in the keirin, trapping the world champion between riders. Nothstein escaped with half a lap, but did not have come to catch Hill. "To come here and beat him in front of an American crowd, its a big confidence boost for me," Hill said. Hill defeated Nothstein in the final of the mens match sprint Friday. Nothstein had won both events at the first round of the World Cup last week in Cali, Colombia. Australia also won the overall team title, topping the United States, 91 points to 77. In the womens individual pursuit, Lithuanian Rasa Mazeikyte won the gold medal, beating Australian Lucy Tyler-Sharman in the final. American Rebecca Twigg, Colorado Springs, Colo., won the bronze medal, defeating world champion Antonella Bellutti of Italy. Bellutti did not start the bronze medal ride due to illness. Elsewhere, Russian Galina Enioukhina posted her second straight World Cup match sprint win, beating world champion Felicia Ballanger of France in three rides in the final. Australian Michele Ferris was third. The Spanish Madison team of Miguel Alzamora and Juan Llaneras repeated their victory as well, topping the Australian duo of Brett Aitken and Stephen Pate.
