Kristen Faulkner Wins Gold in Women's Road Cycling, First for USA in 40 Years
Aug 4, 2024, 04:40 PM
Kristen Faulkner secured a historic gold medal in the women's road cycling race at the Paris Olympics, becoming the first American woman to win the event since 1984. Faulkner made a decisive move with three kilometers remaining, overtaking four competitors to clinch the victory. This triumph marks a significant milestone for Team USA, as it is the first gold medal in this event in 40 years. Faulkner, a former venture capitalist from Homer, Alaska, left her job in 2021 to pursue professional cycling. Her journey from Harvard rowing to venture capital and finally to Olympic gold is a testament to her determination and resilience. The 31-year-old's victory in the 158-kilometer race was celebrated widely, with many noting the electric atmosphere in Paris as she crossed the finish line. The last American to win this event was Connie Carpenter-Phinney in 1984.
