 Kristin Armstrong knew she was the favorite to win time trial gold 
in cycling at the Beijing Olympics. But when she looked at the start 
list in London, she counted nine riders with a shot.In the end, there was only one.The
 defending champion blistered an 18-mile course south of London today to
 win her second straight gold medal. Her time of 37 minutes, 34.82 
seconds was more than 15 seconds better than world champion Judith Arndt
 of Germany, who took silver.Olga Zabelinskaya of Russia won the bronze.“My
 mantra was, ’You have to live with this ride,”’ said Armstrong, a 1995 
University of Idaho graduate who briefly retired after the 2008 Beijing 
Olympics to start a family. “You’re only as good as your last result.”It couldn’t have been any better.......................(from the Spokesman-Review)
