The 2019 Cycling World Championships in Yorkshire, England, saw an incredible performance from Chloe Dygert, who won the individual pursuit title. This is a remarkable achievement for the 21-year-old American cyclist, who has only been competing in the sport for a few years.
Dygert is a relative newcomer to cycling, having only started competing in 2016. She quickly made a name for herself, however, winning a silver medal in the team pursuit at the 2017 World Championships. This year, she was determined to win gold and she did just that.
The individual pursuit is a grueling event that requires riders to race against the clock over a 4km track. Dygert was up against some of the best cyclists in the world, but she managed to come out on top with a time of 4 minutes and 20.073 seconds. This was enough to beat the reigning champion, Dutch rider Kirsten Wild, by 1.7 seconds.
Dygert’s victory is a testament to her hard work and dedication to the sport. She has been training hard for this event for months and it paid off. Her win is also a great achievement for the United States cycling team, which has not had a world champion in this event since Rebecca Twigg in 1994.
It will be interesting to see what Dygert can do next. She has already achieved so much in such a short amount of time and it will be exciting to watch her progress as she continues to compete in cycling events around the world.
