Congratulations to Great Britain’s first medal of the games, Lizzie Armitstead and to celebrate, here is an Olympic illustration of her.
With Emma Pooley fighting a terrier like battle in the climbs of Boxhill, it was left to Lizzie Armistead to chase down a Russian breakaway from Olga Zabelinksaya.
Merckx Vos from Holland followed here and managed to steal gold in a thrilling (and also very wet) end to the women’s street race.
