PARIS — U.S. Olympic Triathlon Team member Taylor Knibb (Boulder, Colo.) placed 19th in the women's cycling individual time trial on a rain-slickened course on Saturday, July 27 to kick off her Olympic Games Paris 2024 competitions.

On Saturday, Knibb finished her time trial race on the 32.4-kilometer course in 43 minutes, 3.46 seconds. Battling rainy, slick conditions, Knibb crashed three times on the slippery course and had a bike mechanical issue, which further slowed her down.
