Today, at the center for cycling sports (Shizuoka Prefecture, Tokyo), races were held in the road cycling discipline — individual time trial.
45 men competed over a 25 km distance and 23 women over 15 km. Despite the high technical complexity of the track with many sharp turns and hills, our cyclists fought for podium places in the leading group.
The celebrated veteran Dmitry Rozanov again created a loud sensation. Starting seventh in the time trial, Dmitry immediately picked up considerable speed, rapidly overtaking all competitors along the distance, and as a result, crossed the finish line, bringing his nearest pursuers over two and a half minutes behind him.
Congratulations to Dmitry on his second Deaflympic medal and his fifth Deaflympic gold in his career!
Yegor Gavrilov and Alisa Bondareva took 5th place, Yelizaveta Bavykinа was 7th.
