Olympics-Cycling-Sweden’s Rissveds wins gold in women’s cross-country (Reuters)
Sweden’s Jenny Rissveds raced away to gold in the Olympic women’s cross-country cycling event on Saturday. The 22-year-old former European champion pulled away quickly, safely tackling the hazardous Rio Rocks and Flip Flop sections of the layout before sprinting to the finish line. Wloszczowska hung on for the silver with Canada’s Catharine Pendrel in the bronze-medal position.
