Three years after a horror crash almost ended her career, Chloe Dygert of the United States won the women's time trial with a dominant ride over 36.2km at the road cycling world championships on Thursday.
Dygert recovers from bug in time for 2nd gold

GLASGOW - The American was world champion in 2019. But, in a frightening accident during her title defence at the 2020 worlds in Imola, Italy, she careered over a roadside barrier.

That led to emergency surgery on her leg. After two more operations, her left leg is now 3cm shorter.

But the 26-year-old showed a week ago that her form was back by winning an individual pursuit gold at the track cycling world meet in Glasgow and qualifying for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

There she did a victory lap of the track holding the American flag, little knowing she was among many who had picked up a respiratory bug at the noisy indoor event.
