This was our preview of the Olympic Games cycling time trial at Paris 2024 – you can click here for a full report and results on how triathlon phenom Taylor Knibb endured the toughest of days in the French capital.

The triathlon action at Paris 2024 may not start until next week, but there is significant swim/bike/run interest before that at the Olympic Games as US phenom Taylor Knibb goes for cycling glory today (Saturday July 27).

The brilliant 26-year-old prodigy has carried all before her over middle distances in the past couple of years, winning a pair of IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships and starring on the T100 stage as well.

But Knibb has also put her incredible bike talents to good use in the sport of cycling too – netting a spot on the US team for the individual time trial at Paris 2024.

Taylor secured her place for Paris by winning the US Time Trial Championship in May with a brilliant effort in Charleston, West Virginia.

The hot favourite for gold though is Knibb’s US team-mate Chloe Dygert at 4/6 (Sky Bet, UK) with Ellen van Dijk of the Netherlands next best at 7/2. Knibb meanwhile is a 10/1 shot to claim a medal, and 50/1 for gold.

Individual time trial course

The race today will start and finish by the golden Port Alexandre III bridge and in between those moments the cyclists will cover 32.4km in their bid for Olympic Games glory.

In terms of iconic sights, the field will pass Notre-Dame twice, while the brutal Vincennes forest will provide the greatest test of their skills.
