26-27 July 2021 – Tom Pidcock is gold medal! According to Mathias Fluckiger and 3rd David Serrano, who takes away a Nino Schurter the bronze medal. From the start, all the best in front, including our Gerhard Kerschbaumer, who, as expected, took advantage of the less chaotic phases of the Olympic event (fewer starters than other events) in order not to remain entangled in the group.
Luca Braidot is also very busy in the early stages of the start while Nadir Colledani always on a dull day and travels around the 25th position. But immediately the first surprise of the day takes place: Mathieu Van Der Poel stalls during the 1st lap in one of the most technical drops. Really a pity and, if we want to spice up a bit, would anything have changed if Van Der Poel had had the telescopic? The answer is up to you. FALL OF MATHIEU VAN DER POEL.
During the race, Luca Braidot lost his edge, as did Gerhard Kerschbaumer. Meanwhile the fires are lit up front with Tom Pidcock who increases and makes everyone jump a bit, apart from Fluckiger who always remains about twenty seconds away and tries everything to catch him. In the meantime Cink punctures and is forced to retire, just as Nadir Colledani is also forced to retire. Close fight for bronze between Anton Cooper, Nino Schurter, David Serrano and Victor Koretzky.
The Englishman Pidcock goes on to win the Tokyo Olympics, ahead of Mathis Fluckiger and David Serrano. Too bad for Nino Schurter who has to settle for 4th place. First of the Italians Kerschbaumer who finishes in 20th position. Following Luca Braidot, 25th position.
The proof of cross-country Tokyo 2020 women's mountain bike event will remain engraved in the history of Swiss sport: Jolanda Neff, Sina Frei and Linda Indergand scored an exhilarating and incredible hat-trick! The girl from St. Gallen triumphed by a wide margin over all her opponents, starting already on the first lap, while the girl from Graubünden and Urana were able to pull away from the other opponents in the final, and in particular the French favorite Pauline Ferrand-Prevot, who gradually went further and further ahead. confusion on the demanding route. Nothing to do even for the other transalpine Loana Lecomte, dominator of the season.
A circuit that became even harder than the men's race due to the rain which made the surface slippery, which allowed the Swiss women's team to get on the Olympic podium in this specialty for the first time since 2000, when Barbara Blatter won silver .
This is the 28-year-old's first Olympic medal after a disappointing sixth place in Rio four years ago. Her individual palmarès also includes a world title (2017), three European titles (2015, 2016 and 2018) and three World Cups (2014, 2015, 2018).
