Women’s Olympic Time Trial
The women’s Olympic Time trial was won by Kristin Armstrong of US.

Evergreen, 50 year old, Jeannie Longo just missed out on a medal by 2 seconds. (she has competed in every Olympics since 1984 – an achievement in itself)
The Men’s Olympic time trial is today, with Stefan Schumacher starting as one of the favourite’s
