168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lea Davison was all smiles after her career-best performance on Saturday - a bronze medal in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:elite women's cross country race at the 16𓆏8澳洲5最新开奖结果:UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Hafjell, Norway.

"It feels amazing. It's so meaningful to have that happen after spending half the season off the bike. I just got to training in June," the American rider told Cyclingnews.

"My injury was involved and not ideal. I was walking around on crutches for four weeks in January and February. In April, I was moving my♍ hip around in the pool and wondering how I was going to make this happen. My coach said the entire time thaꦓt he wasn't worried, but I was a little worried. It proves that hard work and determination paid off."

It was the second time Davison injured her hip - once on each side -𝓡 and then had to have surgery and go through subsequent lengthy rehabilitation.

Davison didn't properly resume racing until t♚he US National Championships in July, which she won.

Her previous career-best finish was two fourth places at World Cups - once in Hafjell last yearꦯ and once at Mont-Sainte-Anne, al👍most a home course for Davison.

"I knew this course was good for me and they added in more technical elements. I was feeling good all week and hoping I would have the legs today," she said. "The field was strong this year and with so many different World Cup podiums, you never kno🐼w."

Davison raced a bit in front of and in awe of Norwegian Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjaa. "My first Worlds was in Vail, Colorado in 2001 and I was a junior and got to watch Alison Dunlap win over Gunn-Rita and I was thinkꦗing today that I'm racing Gunn-Rita now."

What's next for Davison is to race a few enduros for fun in the US. "I usually go to CrossVegas but I can't run yet because of my hip and I won't go to Langkawi stage race because there ar𓃲e a bunch of hike-a-bikes, I can't do yet."

"I guess this is just short, but sweet season."
