Another busy roller day in Nanijing. In the morning, whilst in the track the heats where running, in the FIRS Official Hotel the Executive Board Meeting took place in Nanjing.

The EB members focused on the implementation plan of the FIRS antidoping policy in the next few months. In the afternoon, they had a survey on the venues for the Skateboarding and Roller Frestyle events of the 2017 Roller Games.

Regarding the Worlds going on the track, in the Junior Men 15.000mt Elimination, the Colombian CARLOS Franco confirmed the 2015 Gold Medal won in Kaohsiung, followed by GIUSEPPE Bramante (ITA) and the Colombian teammate SAUL HerreƱo.

It was then the turn of sprint races for the Senior cateogories. Colombia overruled in the Ladies competitions: Gold Medal for PAOLA Segura.
