  "account": "Belgian cyclist Remco Evenepoel secured his fourth consecutive World Time Trial title on Sunday, tying a legendary record. The 24-mile course in Montreal saw Evenepoel complete the race in 44 minutes, 53.13 seconds, leading all competitors by 57.31 seconds over Italy's Filippo Ganna. Ganna finished second, while France's Paul Seixas claimed bronze, marking a significant milestone as Seixas is just two months removed from finishing fourth in his Tour de France debut at the age of 19. Evenepoel, who also won Olympic gold medals in both the time trial and road race, becomes the fourth cyclist to accomplish the feat, joining Jeannie Longo, Fabian Cancellara, and Tony Martin. The World Time Trial title was first contested in 1994, with Swiss Marlen Reusser taking the women's title for her second consecutive win. Reusser's margin of victory over British cyclist Zoe Backstedt was a substantial 40 seconds. American cyclist Taylor Knibb secured the 13th position in the women's event, eight days after claiming a world title in the half Ironman triathlon, and is set to race the full Ironman Kona World Championship on October 10 in Hawaii.",
