After a dream 2024 season that included two Olympic gold medals, US road race champion Kristen Faulkner has called an end to her mishap-filled year of racing after having to undergo surgery on her shoulder.
Faulkner won the women's road race and Team Pursuit gold on the track in Paris last August but has struggled for much of the year. First, a concussion sustained in a training crash last December delayed the Alaska native's season debut.
