Fourteen Italian medals were won in the first two days of the European Junior and Under-23 Track Championships in Cottbus. The opening day's eight medals, with five titles (one silver and two bronze) in endurance, individual events, and sprint, were joined by six more (three gold, one silver, and two bronze). The first title for the Italian team was won by Agata Campana, gold in the junior women's Scratch event, while Federica Venturelli from Crema once again confirmed her special relationship with the individual pursuit by winning her third consecutive European Under-23 title in the event, following those she earned in 2024.
