The final day of track cycling at the Bolivarian Games Lima–Ayacucho 2025 was dominated by Colombia from start to finish. Between the morning qualifying rounds and the evening finals, Colombia cemented its dominance with more podium finishes and secured the overall velodrome title: 9 gold, 6 silver, and 1 bronze medals, crowning them absolute track champions.
The day began with the men’s keirin, and from the heats, it was clear who was aiming for the gold medal. In heat 1, Kevin Quintero (COL) dominated, controlling the race and finishing with the power that has made him one of the world’s great sprinters.
In heat 2, it was Cristian Ortega’s (COL) turn, who responded to the pressure by winning his heat and securing Colombia’s second spot in the final. With both of them leading the pack, Colombia secured two very strong contenders for gold at the end of the day.
In the women’s sprint, the semifinals set the stage for the evening. Stefany Cuadrado (COL) defeated Chile’s Paola Muñoz, securing her place in the gold medal match, while Luna Álvarez (COL) fell to Makaira Wallace (TTO). This created a two-pronged challenge for Colombia: Cuadrado fighting for gold and Álvarez going for bronze.
Later that evening, the velodrome was packed for the men’s Madison, a test of endurance, tactics, and nerves of steel. The Peruvian duo Ruiz–Ruiz capitalized on the intermediate sprints to take the gold, but behind them, Brayan Sánchez and Brayan Gómez (COL) battled lap after lap to secure the silver medal, ahead of the Chilean pair Rojas–Arriaga, who claimed the bronze.
The most anticipated moment arrived with the men’s keirin final. At the decisive start, Kevin Quintero (COL) once again demonstrated why he is one of the region’s top sprinters: he chose the right wheel, waited for the precise moment to launch his sprint, and gave his rivals no chance. He crossed the finish line first and was crowned Bolivarian Games keirin champion.
Behind him, a tight finish ensued, with Nicholas Paul (TTO) and Cristian Ortega (COL) sharing the silver medal, while Peru’s Francis Cachique took the bronze. Thus, Colombia not only secured the gold but also added another silver to its track cycling medal count.
The evening concluded with the women’s sprint final, where Colombia once again took center stage, this time with two victories. In the grand final, Stefany Cuadrado (COL) left no doubt: she defeated Makaira Wallace (TTO) to claim the gold medal, confirming with authority what she had hinted at since the semifinals.
In the bronze medal match, Luna Álvarez (COL) recovered from her semifinal loss to secure a place on the podium, while Chile’s Paola Muñoz completed the medal count. With this, Colombia finished the women’s sprint at the top of the podium with two medals.
With the results of this final day—silver in the men’s Madison, gold and silver in the keirin, and gold and silver in the women’s sprint (since Trinidad and Tobago, as an invited country, is not included in the medal count)—Colombia sealed a perfect run at the velodrome of the XX Bolivarian Games Lima–Ayacucho 2025.
The tally speaks for itself: 9 gold, 6 silver, and 1 bronze medals in track cycling, the overall title in the sport, and a clear feeling: the Bolivarian track was run to Colombia’s rhythm, as the team turned each day of competition into a new opportunity to demonstrate that it remains a powerhouse on the oval.
