Olympics: Annemiek Van Vleuten races to gold in women's time trial

Annemiek Van Vleuten (Netherlands) triumphed in the women's individual time trial at the Tokyo Olympic Games to take gold with a blistering performance, totally dominating the race of truth.

Van Vleuten was the fastest at every checkpoint throughout the 22.1km course, as she took her first-ever Olympic gold medal after several near misses in the past. The Dutch rider finished with a blistering time of 30:13 over the undulating course, and unlike in the road race where she finished second in a daze of confusion, there was little doubt this time around.
