The time-trial specialist is in rich form heading towards the Paris Games and has high hopes of improving on her showing in Tokyo
Australia’s Grace Brown is hoping to snag an Olympic medal in the time trial around the streets of Paris.Australia’s Grace Brown is hoping to snag an Olympic medal in the time trial around the streets of Paris.
All of which leaves Brown on the precipice of an Olympic medal in late July, when she rolls down the start ramp in cycling’s first event of the Games, just a day after the opening ceremony. Three years of hard work have come to this – a race against the clock around the streets of Paris, across 32.4 km of flat terrain.
Brown is making up for lost time in more ways than one. The Victorian was a runner through high school and university, only turning to cycling in 2015 following successive injuries. Just 18 months later she had a breakthrough victory at the Mersey Valley Tour in Tasmania, and soon found herself a member of the national team. Brown has quickly become one of the best cyclists in the world – progressing at a pace that belied her inexperience on the bike.
