Israeli cyclist Rotem Gafinovitz finishes the women’s road race at the 2024 Paris Olympics in 77th place out of 93 riders, with a time of 4:13:42.
While Gafinovitz, 32, spent much of the early part of the race out ahead of the pack, she was later caught by the peloton and fell to the back of the race.
At least 14 riders who began the race do not complete the grueling 158 kilometer course.
The gold is won by the US’s Kristen Faulkner, silver goes to the Netherlands’s Marianne Vos, and bronze to Belgium’s Lotte Kopecky.
