Team USA celebrated their medal in the event since 1984.

Offaly's Megan Armitage played a starring role in the Women's Olympic Road Race in Paris over the weekend.

The Shinrone woman was one of the race's main protagonists on Sunday until she was stopped by a crash ahead of her by American rider, Chloe Dygert.

Prior to that attacked off the front of the peloton on numerous occasions.

Despite her misfortune, the Ef Education Cannondale rider managed to finish in 35th position.

Kristen Faulkner for USA, Marianne Vos for Netherlands, and Lotte Kopeckey for Belgium filled the podium positions in Paris.
