 Italy wins gold.

Ganna was quoted saying "We wanted to do something special. We knew the silver medal was a kind of parachute but we wanted more. We knew we could pull time back in the final kilometre but when you’re in the race you can’t clock watch the hundredths of a second, you just push as hard as you can. The other guys put me in an ideal position for me to do my bit, they launched me at the speed I wanted and I finished it all off. But I can assure you that the work of Francesco Lamon, Jonathan Milan and Simone Consonni is harder than mine. We knew we had to start strong, follow our strategy and then go after them in the final kilometre. This a special moment for the whole team to enjoy but I also want to congratulate our rivals for challenging us and pushing us to improve. We’ve won World Cup events in the past but now we’ve got a gold medal around  our necks, it’s amazing. We have to thank the team staff who looked after us and motivated us day after day."

Consonni was quoted saying "It's a huge honour for us to be part of this group. We’ve all worked hard to aim high and do the best we could, we’ve all given up so much. Elia Viviani and Liam Bertazzo are also part of the team pursuit squad and are part of this success. It’s a team effort."

Netherlands (Lasse Norman Hansen, Niklas Larsen, Frederik Madsen & Rasmus Pedersen) and Australia (Kelland O'Brien, Sam Welsford, Leigh Howard, Lucas Plapp & Alexander Porter) finished second and third.
