The Colombian track cycling delegation has had a spectacular start to the XX Bolivarian Games Ayacucho–Lima 2025, winning three of the four gold medals contested on the first day at the VIDENA velodrome.

Colombia demonstrated its continental hierarchy, especially in the speed and team pursuit tests.

The power of the national sprinters was felt from the classifications and was confirmed in the finals:

The triplet made up of Juliana Gaviria, Stefany Cuadrado and Yarli Mosquera gave their rivals no option.

After setting the best time in the preliminaries, they secured gold with a resounding time of 40.001 seconds in the final, far surpassing Venezuela (silver) and Chile (bronze).

The team made up of Cristian Ortega, Kevin Quintero and Rubén Murillo replicated the success. The Colombian trio flew in the final to win the gold medal with a time of 43.798 seconds, leaving Venezuela with the silver and Chile with the bronze.

The third gold of the day came in the Men’s Team Pursuit. The cyclists Anderson Arboleda, Brayan Sánchez, Bryan Gómez and Juan Arango won the 4,000 meter test with a time of 4:00.927.
