Might not be a terrible idea to have a doctor at the ready for Kiesenhofer

First cycling gold for Austria since Adolf Schmal won the Men's 12 hour race at the 1896 Summer Olympics.

First Austrian winner not to wear a handlebar moustache.

It's time search twitter if someone predicted that  and  will win the two road races. 

Carapaz isn't really surprising at all (one of the many serious candidates for gold), but yeah, Kiesenhofer.....

Who had this in the prediction contest?

No, but after her horrible fall in Rio, any medal actually makes her happy.

My favorite moment of the Games bar none. I doubt I will get as emotionally involved for any other (non-Croatian) medalist.

 

Anna Kiesenhofer

This is why the Dutch NOC doesn’t want athletes who aren’t in the top 12 of the world ranking in the Olympics.

This is definitely going to be a highlight in the Olympic film. Amazing story
