Molloy wins junior women's downhill world title

Australian Tegan Mollloy was crowned junior women's downhill world champion in Hafjell, Norway on Sunday morning. Viktoria Gimenez and Marine Cabirou, both from France, completed the podium.

"I had a pretty good run. I was a little bit loose through the rock garden, but I held it together," said Molloy to Cyclingnews. "I'm so stoked - this is a dream come true. It's amazing to win."

Molloy's best previous results was an 11th at Mont-Sainte-Anne, and she won the junior women's World Cup overall.

Just four junior women were on the start list for the world championships, and one of them did not take to the start.
