Grace Brown, the Australian cyclist, triumphed at the 2024 UCI Road and Para-Cycling Road World Championships by winning the women's elite time trial race.

In a remarkable performance, the 32-year-old cyclist beat her FDJ-Suez teammate Vittoria Guazzini by 51 seconds over a distance of 27.2 kilometers.

Brown concludes her professional cycling career with a total of 26 wins, with her most significant achievements occurring in her final season.

She made history by becoming the first rider to win both the Olympic and World Championship time trials in the same year.

Her Olympic victory in Paris marked a significant highlight of her career, as it was her first-ever Olympic medal.

This season has been particularly successful for Brown, featuring significant wins including the Australian time trial championship and Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

Despite concerns about dangerous road conditions during the race, Brown showcased her skills while wearing her world champion's skinsuit and gold aero helmet.

She took an early lead of 28 seconds at the first checkpoint and further extended her lead by the finish, marking a dominant performance.

Brown is looking forward to competing in the Chrono des Nations time trial in Les Herbiers, France, which she calls her 'last hurrah' in cycling.

After her retirement, she plans to return to Melbourne to reflect on her successful career filled with numerous accolades.

In her retirement announcement, Brown expressed sadness about leaving the sport but also contentment with her achievements.

In an Instagram video, she stated, 'It's done ... it's time for the rest of life,' signaling her readiness to move on from competitive cycling.
