Rebecca Henderson has enjoyed her best Olympic result, while French star Pauline Ferrand-Prevot has fulfilled her destiny by winning mountain biking gold at the Paris Games.
Henderson - who joins Anna Meares and Lauren Reynolds as the only Australian female cyclists to compete at four Olympics - was 13th on Sunday at Elancourt Hill, south-west of Paris.
The 32-year-old would have finished higher, but suffered a puncture on the second-last of seven laps of the tough 4.4km circuit.
