Sorry..
Kristen Faulkner Gold medal. Last US cycling road race women's gold was in 1984.
Faulkner, 31, was not supposed to compete at the 2024 Paris Games but was called up to Team USA in early July after Taylor Knibb resigned her spot. It was an exciting moment for the woman who had only begun cycling in 2017 on hobby rides through Central Park in New York City.
She grew up hiking and rowing in Homer, Alaska, and eventually joined the women’s crew team at Harvard University. It wasn’t until she moved to New York to work as a venture capitalist that she tried cycling.
