British track cyclist Emma Finucane said she will “come back fighting” after narrowly missing the gold medal in the Keirin at a recent competition.

Finucane, who finished just off the top step, expressed disappointment but emphasized her resolve to return stronger in future races.

“I’m going to come back fighting for gold medals,” Finucane said.

The Keirin, a sprint event that originated in Japan, is contested on a velodrome where riders follow a motorised pacer before a final sprint to the finish. It is known for its tactical intensity and high speeds.

Finucane’s statement underscores her determination to improve her performance and target gold in upcoming championships, signalling her continued ambition on the international track cycling circuit.
