Jasmin Glaesser of Coquitlam raced to an amazing seventh place in the women's Omnium as the 2012 UCI Track World Cup cycling tour kicked off last weekend in Astana, Kazakhstan.
It marked the 19-year-old Glaessar's first appearance on the World Cup tour.
Glaesser, who recently won the gold and set a new Canadian record in the women's team pursuit race at the Pan-American Games in Mexico, finished off the six-race Omnium event with 51 points, and was only three points away from a top-five finish.
"Racing here in Kazakhstan was a really exciting opportunity and I am able to walk away with some valuable experience," Glaesser said.
