As Chloé Dygert stood atop the podium, after the most dominant time trial in world road cycling championships history, she had to remind herself to smile. The silver medalist, Dutchwoman Anna van der Breggen, wasn’t convinced.
“Are you happy that you won?” van der Breggen asked her on Sept. 24 in Yorkshire, Great Britain.
“I must not have looked or seemed very happy about it,” Dygert said recently. “I am told by several people that I don’t really show too much emotion, or not happy emotion, when I’m on the podium.”
Dygert let her bike riding leave the ultimate impression.
