Unusually, the Games road race continues to be held without rider radios that are used at all times in the professional tours.
Tom Dumoulin of the Netherlands, and Chris Froome of Great Britain have also won two medals each, though neither of them gold.
Jason Kenny holds the record of three gold and one silver medal in the event, having been a part of the winning team on three consecutive occasions between 2008 and 2016.
They also hold the distinction of being the only team to win the event twice with the same three riders: Roy van den Berg, Harrie Lavreysen and Jeffrey Hoogland.
Two riders have won two gold medals in the cross-country; Julien Absalon of France (2008 and 2012), and Tom Pidcock of Great Britain (2020 and 2024).
