An incredible performance by Marianne Vos. Today she became world champion in gravel cycling. After a ride of 134 kilometers, she defeated Lotte Kopecky from Belgium and crossed the finish line first.
What is gravel cycling?
In gravel cycling, people ride a gravel bike. That is a kind of racing bike with slightly wider tires. This means you can also cycle on unpaved roads. These are, for example, dirt roads or through the forest. It is a sport that has become increasingly popular in recent years.
Marianne Vos has been very good at cycling for years. She previously became world champion in road cycling, track cycling and cyclo-cross.
Because she won today, she is now world champion in four different sports. Something that almost never happens.
