Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Swiss cyclist Marlen Reusser won her first UCI Women\u2019s Elite Individual Time Trial (ITT) title on Sunday, September 21, at the 2025 UCI RoadWorld Championships in Kigali.<\/p>\n

Reusser completed the 31.2-kilometre course in 43 minutes and 9 seconds, topping the podium after years of near misses. The Swiss star finished ahead of Dutch riders Anna van der Breggen, who claimed silver (+52 seconds), and Demi Vollering, the pre-race favourite, who took bronze (+1 minute 5 seconds).<\/p>\n

The championships got off to an electrifying start as the elite women contested the ITT on opening day, just ahead of the men\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

Reusser\u2019s win adds to her impressive medal collection, which already included two silvers and a bronze in the ITT since 2020.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, local interest centered on Rwandan athletes Xaverine Nirere and Diane Ingabire, who put up an impressive performance in the ITT category.<\/p>\n

Nirere, who had the honour of being the first rider to start, launched from inside the BK Arena, marking the first-ever indoor start in ITT history. She clocked 50 minutes and 7 seconds, ultimately finishing 27th, trailing Reusser by 6 minutes and 58 seconds.<\/p>\n

Her Rwanda counterpart Ingabire completed the race in 52 minutes and 57 seconds, securing 35th place, 9 minutes and 48 seconds behind the leader.<\/p>\n

For a moment, Nirere held the “hot seat” as the race leader until Italy\u2019s Soraya Paladin posted a time of 48:36. Shortly after, China\u2019s Hao Zhang finished in 47:23, followed by Sigrid Ytterhus Haugset of Norway in 46:24.<\/p>\n
