“If I’m at the start line, it means I’m prepared, I want to win. But also, I know realistically, I’m not supposed to win here.” This Austrian cyclist just pulled off one of the biggest shocks in Olympics history.
The Austrian rider was considered a novice compared to her competitors, notably defending champion Anna van der Breggen, former Olympic bronze medalist Elisa Longo Borghini, Britain's Lizzie Deignan, Germany's Lisa Brennauer and former world title champion Annemiek van Vleuten. But Kiesenhofer, who only turned pro in 2017, wasn't flustered by the world-class roster.
She hasn't been part of a pro cycling team since 2017, a decision she's stuck with of her own volition.Kiesenhofer acknowledges that she's learned from past coaches, but says that fundamentally,"It just didn't fit my character. I like to be independent. I like to make my choices like my training plan, my races and so on. I have just this lonely fighter approach." What she may lack in physical support, she certainly makes up by using her intellectual prowess.
