Race Recap
Roglic wins Olympic gold in TT
Primoz Roglic (SLO) was on fire in the Olympic time trial July 28th, powering across the 44.2km course to take gold for Slovenia over a minute ahead of Tom Dumoulin (NED) took silver and Rohan Dennis (AUS) bronze. The 31-year-old clocked a 55:04 after posting the fastest intermediate check times after 10km.
"It's super hard [to stay focused], especially when things aren't going the way you'd like to," Roglič said after he collected his medal. "At the end it's always I worked hard. I always tried to keep believing in it. Still, it's me, it's Primoz – everything is always possible every day.
"I just went out – I had nothing to lose, I just went all out from kilometre zero and fought for every kilometre and I managed to come to the finish. That was my job, and I did it good and the time said it was enough for the gold medal and I'm super pleased for that."
"Super nice. It's beautiful," he said about being Olympic champion. "The medal is quite heavy actually. I didn't know it. For me it's incredibly nice after the, let's say hard things that happened in the last moments to me. It paid off, all the work we put in – from my side, from my family's side, from the people all around me. Today I managed to win the gold medal and being Olympic champion.
"In cycling it's stupid to compare all these [races]. Everything is super hard to win, even your home race behind your house. Every achievement is special. This one for sure for me is super, super special and I'm really happy."
