A 31-year-old American woman won gold in the bicycle road race, and she's only been bicycling seriously since 2019-2020.

But this 1500 double medaling is awesome.

Good luck to the winner.

But the two best athletes--- second and fourth --- followed the the wrong race tactics and ran themselves out of a one - two finish .
You know 1500 results are odd when US runners figure in the shake-up, though Hocker has raised his form hugely over the last year .

An American won gold in the Rio Olympics in the 1500 in 2016.

An American won gold in the Rio Olympics in the 1500 in 2016.

But a joke final with not a top athlete in the line up .
It was won in 3 .50 compared to top boys all breaking 3 . 30 now .
Which means Centrowitz would have trailed home at least 100 metres behind Hocker .

The women's world recird is 3.49 which means Centrowitz would have been behind in that run .
