In the end game of the Paris Olympics women's road race, Blanka Vas (Hungary) looked to be set to secure at least a silver medal when she escaped with Marianne Vos (Netherlands) in the final 20 kilometres, but in the last 5km, Kristen Faulkner (USA) and Lotte Kopecky (Belgium) caught the duo.
After Faulkner escaped and rode to victory, Vas was left having to sprint for the medals against two of the biggest names in the sport – but finished fourth by millimetres in the photo finish behind Vos and Kopecky.
