Paris Olympics: Briton Pidcock Wins 2nd Mountain Bike Gold Despite A Flat Tyre
Briton Pidcock: Defending champion Tom Pidcock produced one of the great rides to snatch his second gold medal in the men's mountain bike cross country at the Paris Olympics on Monday. The British rider overcame a front wheel puncture that saw him drop 36 seconds through the race to overtake France's Victor Koretzky as they battled head-to-head in the final stretch of the race.
Pidcock finished the eight circuits of the 4.4-kilometre course in one hour, 26 minutes and 22 seconds, nine seconds ahead of Koretzky and with South Africa's Alan Hatherly claiming the bronze medal two more seconds back.
Pidcock's win means he successfully defends the gold he won in Tokyo and comes a day before his 25th birthday, reports Xinhua.
