PARIS − Team USA cyclist Chloe Dygert earned a bronze medal Saturday in the individual time trial of the road cycling event with a time of 41:10.70. Other medalists were Australian Grace Brown (gold, 39:38:24) and Great Britain's Anna Henderson (silver, 41:09.83).
Dygert crashed on a left turn on a cobblestone stretch just before the second time check, but recovered well enough for the third-place finish. The medal marked Dygert's third in Olympic competition, but her first in the individual time trial. She has also won a silver (2016, Rio de Janeiro) and a bronze (2021, Tokyo) in the women's team pursuit.
For Dygert, medaling in Paris marked a remarkable comeback from assorted injuries and health-related issues that includes a gruesome crash in 2020 that required multiple surgeries to her left leg, knee and Achilles injuries, heart surgery, a bout with Epstein-Barr virus, and most recently, a bout with COVID during her Olympic training.
The women's time trial included 35 riders and were held at the Pont Alexandre III venue on a 32.4km course. Dygert's attention now turns to the women's road race, which will be held Sunday, Aug. 4, on a much longer track of 130-160km, against a much deeper field of 90 riders.
