Remco Evenepoel celebrated his second Olympic Games gold medal late into the night in Paris, enjoying some fries and mayonnaise, dancing to techno music and taking part in lots of celebrations with family, friends and his teammates.
After crossing the finish line in the shade of the Eiffel Tower, posing with his bike and then ‘dialling in’ a victory gesture, Evenepoel shed a tear as the Belgian anthem rang out during the medal ceremony, perhaps suddenly understanding what he had achieved. Evenepoel also posed for a special photograph with his two gold medals and with his wife Oumi, who had brought his time trial gold medal from Belgium for a historic moment.
