August 07, 2016 (Rio de Janeiro, BRA) – Anna Van Der Breggen (Netherlands) claimed the biggest win of her career taking the gold in the women’s 136.9km road race as she out-sprinted Emma Johansson (Sweden) who won the silver and Elisa Longo Borghini (Italy) who took home the bronze. Canada’s Karol-Ann Canuel was the top Canadian in 25th followed by Leah Kirchmann in 38th as Tara Whitten did not finish.

The finished saw a fateful crash on the final descent in a similar fashion as the men’s race on the previous day as Annemiek Van Vleuten (Netherlands) was leading Mara Abbott (United States Of America) by 30seconds but crashed into the curb on a corner and was out.

The two climbers had escaped on the final Vista Chinesa ascent. Abbott raced on to the finish but was caught near the end by the three chasers and ended up fourth with Van Der Breggen the strongest as she captured the gold.
