The fifth and final day of the 2008 UCI Junior World Championships at the Bellville Velodrome was a fitting climax to a series of spectacular battles between these talented cyclists. The action at the Velodrome included the ladies Keirin Final as well as the Scratch Race, Sprint and Omnium Finals for men.

The Ladies Keirin final included a number of cyclists who had already won medals at this championship making for an exciting final. The favourites were German rider, Kristina Vogel and Australia's Annette Edmondson. Vogel took her third gold in a seemingly effortless victory, Olivia Montauban from France taking the silver and Giada Balzan of Italy the bronze.

France again proved their dominance in the world of track sprinting. The first three places were a foregone conclusion with France qualifying all four of their riders for the ride off. The gold went to Quentin Lafargue, the silver to Charlie Conord and the bronze to Thierry Jollet.

The Men's Scratch Final over 10 km proved a humdinger as the riders rocketed around the track at speeds exceeding 50km an hour. The final honours and the gold medal went to Dutch favourite Michael Vingerling with Carlos Daniel Linares Zambrano from Venezuela taking the silver and Alexander Emanu Caselles from Argentina taking the bronze.

The Omnium's early rounds kicked off with Australia looking the clear favourite. South African, Clint Hendricks, was fouled early by the Argentinian and crashed heavily. The Argentinian was disqualified from the Omnium and Hendricks was able to continue after some running repairs. The gold medal for the most consistent rider went to Australia's Luke Davison, the silver to Moreno de Pauw of Belgium with Ramon Domene Reyes from Spain taking the bronze.
