Evenepoel and Brown Win World Time Trials

Belgium's Remco Evenepoel successfully defended his world road time trial title, finishing six seconds ahead of Italy's Filippo Ganna, while Australia's Grace Brown triumphed in the women's event, marking a historic Olympic-World double for both athletes. Evenepoel, who had a brief scare with a dropped chain before his start, completed the 46.1-kilometer course in 53 minutes and 2 seconds. Brown, set to retire after her next race, executed a remarkable comeback to win by 17 seconds, becoming the first rider to achieve both Olympic and world titles in the same year. She expressed gratitude for her career's culmination with such achievements. Evenepoel's victory adds to his impressive summer, which included wins in both the time trial and road race at the Paris Olympics. Both champions celebrated their victories, with Evenepoel raising his arms in triumph and Brown reflecting on her dreams realized.
