At the Paracycling Track World Championships in Rio de Janeiro, Franz-Josef Lässer won the bronze medal in the 4,000 m single pursuit. In the small final, the 23-year-old Styrian defeated Daniel Abraham from the Netherlands. 

"It's awesome. The feeling is indescribable, especially because we've invested so much time in the track," said a delighted Lässer. For him, it was the second World Championship medal of his career, having won silver in the omnium in Glasgow in 2023.
