Marlen Reusser made a golden breakthrough on Sunday as she claimed the women’s time trial at the cycling World Championships in Kigali.

Although she had won a couple of team golds, the Swiss woman had endured a series of individual near misses in major championships, collecting world silvers in 2020 and 2021 and bronze in 2022 as well as silver in the 2020 Olympics.

"I have the feeling I was like, ten times on the podium. I can almost not believe it," she said. "I know it’s real and it happened, but I tried so many times and it didn’t work out. And now, I think I made it, and it’s really special, but it was such an effort."
