Indiana native Chloé Dygert has taken home the second medal of the 2024 Paris Games for Team USA by winning the bronze in the women's cycling time trial.Dygert, 27, is a native of Brownsburg, Ind., a suburb of Indianapolis. She now spends her time between her residence in Colorado Springs, Colo. and training in Boise, Idaho.Dygert was visibly emotional following her third-place finish. She told NBC after the race, "This is the pinnacle of sport. You know, everybody wants to be here, and you know, I just did everything I could to get to the finish line today and I'm really grateful. It's God's plan."Dygert, who has undergone multiple health challenges over the past few years including heart surgery, a concussion, Epstein-Barr virus, COVID-19 complications, and a long history of repeated leg injuries, said she was just thankful to even be racing at this year's Olympics."I'm just thankful that I'm here, you know?" Dygert said through tears. "It's been a long road with my leg... and I'm just really grateful to cross the finish line." Dygert also recounted the single worst leg injury of career while racing at the 2020 UCI Road World Championships in Imola, Italy where a metal barrier sliced deep through a large segment of her left leg. She has had lots of health complications with the leg ever since, including numerous surgeries, involvements in several additional crashes, and even a flare up of pain in her leg as recently as January of this year that temporarily kept her off her bike. Before her 2020 injury, she also previously had suffered from leg and foot injuries as a teen while a student athlete at Brownsburg High School."I could have lost my leg four years ago, so to be here and to be competing against the best, I'm just so grateful and blessed."Dygert also shouted out her family, friends, and team for helping her get through her challenges."I'm very grateful and thankful for the support that I had to get here. I wouldn't have been able to finish that race today if I didn't have the people behind me to get me across the line and this is just a huge day for us."The gold in the event would go to Australia's Grace Brown, while the silver went to Great Britain's Anna Henderson.Dygert finished with a time of 41 minutes and 10 seconds, which was one minute and 32 seconds behind Brown's first-place finishing time.She did this despite overcoming a fall at one point in the race after a rainy morning in Paris left much of the trial's path covered in water. Dygert was seen visibly limping after the race.Dygert previously won a bronze medal in the 2021 Tokyo Games and a silver in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games. Both medals were in the women's cycling team pursuit (4km) event.Dygert will race again in Paris in the women's cycling road race on August 4.
