Anna Henderson won silver for Great Britain in the women’s time trial at the Paris Olympics as she edged out the USA’s Chloé Dygert by less than one second.
In damp, treacherous conditions that found out several riders, Henderson clocked a time of 41min 10.7sec over the 32.4km course through the centre of Paris, 1:31 down on Australian Grace Brown’s gold medal-winning ride.
Dygert was among those to hit the deck and that proved critical as she lost the 15-second advantage she had held over Henderson at the first intermediate time check and came home nine tenths of a second off the Brit’s time.
