Eva Alcón, rector of Universitat Jaume I, has received Sebastián Mora, a student of the Bachelor's Degree in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences and an elite athlete at UJI. Mora competed in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in the Omnium and Madison track cycling events and was crowned world points race champion in Denmark this past October.

Sebastián Mora’s Olympic performance was marked by the fall of his partner, Albert Torres, during the Madison event, which prevented the Spanish duo from securing a medal. This event consists of 50 kilometers in which pairs from each country alternate turns to score points, both in the 20 intermediate sprints held every 10 laps (five points awarded to the winners) and by gaining a lap on the field (20 points).

At the World Championship, Sebastián Mora competed in the points race, narrowly defeating local favorite Larsen by a single point in the final sprint. The points race is an individual event covering 40 kilometers, with 20 to 30 cyclists competing. Points are awarded at the end of each two-kilometer sprint, with the top four finishers earning five, three, two, and one points respectively, based on their position.

In recognition of his achievements and his ability to balance elite sports with his university studies, the Rector met with Mora to acknowledge his accomplishments and exchange perspectives. Mora exemplifies excellence in pursuing a dual career in sports and academics. Unfortunately, he will not be able to attend the upcoming Endavant Villarreal CF Chair in Sports scholarship awards ceremony for UJI elite athletes on December 16, as he will be in the Netherlands participating in a showcase of the world’s top cyclists.
