  "account": "Belgian cyclist Remco Evenepoel secured his record-breaking fourth consecutive world time-trial title in Montreal on Sunday. The 26-year-old Olympic champion dominated the race, leading by more than a minute by the second intermediate time-check. Evenepoel extended his lead to almost a minute by the finish, surpassing second-placed Filippo Ganna and third-placed Paul Seixas. The Belgian became the first athlete to win the time-trial world title four times in a row, tying the record of German Tony Martin and Swiss Fabian Cancellara for the most overall titles. Evenepoel, already an Olympic champion in two disciplines, expressed his happiness and excitement, vowing to focus on winning a second road-race world title soon.",
  "summary": "Belgian cyclist Remco Evenepoel achieved a historic feat by winning his fourth consecutive world time-trial title in Montreal, setting a new record for the most overall titles held by a single athlete. The 26-year-old, who has never lost a time-trial since the 2025 Tour de France, dominated the race, extending his lead from the start to the finish. Evenepoel's victory also equals the record for the most overall titles held by German Tony Martin and Swiss Fabian Cancellara. In the women's race, Swiss Marlen Reusser successfully defended her title, celebrating her 35th birthday with a comfortable victory despite facing strong competition.",
