Pidcock Powers Through Puncture to Hold Onto Olympic Crown.

Britain’s Tom Pidcock delivered an astonishing performance in Paris, overcoming a puncture to defend his Olympic mountain bike title.

In a dramatic race filled with challenges, Pidcock’s resilience and skill shone through as he triumphed once again, proving his dominance in the sport.

The world champion, who turns 25 on Tuesday, edged out Victor Koretzky with exceptional skill, despite once trailing by 40 seconds.

A puncture on the fourth lap seemed to spell the end for Pidcock, but he used his incredible talent to climb back up the standings.

By the final lap, he caught Koretzky, and even after the Frenchman briefly reclaimed the lead, Pidcock's masterful bike-handling and a strategic maneuver through the trees allowed him to surge ahead and secure victory after a brief clash.
