[wm]

“The risk I took was calculated, and man I’m good at math”

[SchinniNobody]

She is the most incredible woman ever.

That's it! Nothing more to add!

Austria is so proud!

[topspinaurelius]

That young lady is the definition of motivation and competitiveness, you would be hard pressed to find someone who was a PHD in math or physics first and Olympic champion second

[NinjaElephant]

Her character makes this win so much better!

[ricardoubo]

Just an incredible ride. I watched the whole race. She showed a lot of determination and heart ! Well Deserved ! Never underestimate someone who is confident and a Big Underdog !

[zerodegrekelvin]

She made my day! I quit following cycling because of all the doping, Anna brought the hope the sport can be clean and above all, nerd can win 8-)

The beauty of no radio communication in a bike race. This is how it should be across the sport.

Great Anna! Holding a PhD in mathematics and riding for Olympic Gold! So gorgeous!

With respect, Professor Dr.Anna Kiesenhofer.

Incredible! Dr. Anna and Olympic champion, you are an inspiration. Excelling in two different fields is beyond words. Here, most of us struggle to excel in one field. Wow!

[psycholist]

The sight of her lying on the ground at the end convulsing...I thought her eyes were gonna roll back into her head. I can't imagine going that hard for that long without stopping.

[stratac]

She certainly made the Dutch sit up and take notice, especially when the Dutch girl who came second thought she’d won it, then realised she had come in second by over 2 minutes behind the Austrian!

[antonkern]

wow - i just can say - wow -- so modest, highly intelligent.... so well well well well what a great personality... and she simply demolished as a pure amateur all the professionals... by her own unique individuality

[nielskjr]

I was up early saturday to follow the men's race. I didn't even check up on the women's race until late sunday. But wow what a sensation. Now I can't get enough info about Anna.

[David-insd]

Only one rider showed up to win the woman's race and you're watching her story.... 🥇

[AutoPostBack]

I've seen stills of this interview but I couldn't find it here in Austria. Thank's for the upload!

[srfh]

Olympic champion. No one can ever take that away from her. And the medal. Gold is her color.

[masa]

Wow. Just incredible. Regret couldn't see this news so much here in Japan. This should be more taken care of !

[swats]

I bet someone has already started writing the screenplay!

[gypsism]

The Dutch literally lost the race at kilometer 0. Kudos to Anna! What a feat!
