 Gold: Joscelin Kate Lowden (England, Track Cycling) Joss Lowden -who had not won a world-class event before- broke the Women’s One Hour Record, one of the most prestigious in cycling. She completed 48.405 kilometers in Grenchen (CHE), beating the 48.007 kilometer record set by Vittoria Bussi (ITA) in 2018, in Aguascalientes (MEX). She also finally broke the best human effort of 48.159 km that had been set by Jeannie Longo (FRA) back in 1996, also in Aguascalientes. The “best human effort” mark allows for modern equipment.
