Emma Hinze overcame a crash in the opening round of the women's Keirin that saw her eliminated from the event to keep her lead in the UCI Track Champions League by winning the Sprint ahead of compatriot Lea Friedrich.
Hinze clashed with Canadian Lauriane Genest in the Keirin and both riders went down and were knocked out of the competition. Friedrich went on to take the win in the final ahead of Colombian Martha Bayona with Simona Krupeckaite (Lithuania) in third.
Hinze was determined not to make the same mistake twice and dominated the first heat of the Sprint, with Friedrich, Olympic champion Kelsey Mitchell (Canada), Olena Starikova (Ukraine), Yana Tyshchenko (Russian Federation) and Mathilde Gros (France) advancing to the next round.
Hinze knocked Starlikova and Gros out, while Friedrich made light work of beating Tyshchenko and Mitchell to face off against her compatriot in the final where Hinze took the win.
The pair head into the last round separated by two points, with Mitchell in third 25 points down.
