Belgium's Remco Evenepoel triumphed in the men's individual time trial at the Paris Olympics, adding an Olympic gold to his world title with a time of 36 minutes and 12.16 seconds over a challenging 32.4km course. He outpaced Italy's Filippo Ganna by nearly 15 seconds to secure the silver medal, while fellow Belgian Wout van Aert claimed bronze. Evenepoel's performance was particularly impressive given the difficult, rainy conditions of the race. British cyclist Josh Tarling faced misfortune with an early puncture, finishing just shy of a medal in fourth place. This victory not only highlights Evenepoel's exceptional talent but also marks a significant moment for Belgian cycling in the Olympics.
