Jameson Claims World Championship Silver in Huntsville
Heather Jameson claimed Women’s C2 road race silver and Richael Timothy finished sixth in the Women’s C3 road race as Ireland opened the final day of the 2026 UCI Para Cycling Road World Championships in Huntsville, Alabama, with two outstanding performances.
Jameson completed the four-lap, 55.2 km race in 1:41:54 to earn the first World Championship medal of her career. Switzerland’s Flurina Rigling won gold in 1:41:51, with Jameson leading home a six-rider group that crossed the line three seconds later.
Jameson said: “I’m absolutely over the moon. I really, really and truly am. I’m so happy with the performance. I came here feeling really good. We put in a lot of work, especially since the European Championships in June, and I gave it everything I had out there. The race was fantastic and really suited me. It was a little bit on and off, but I knew I had enough left at the end, so when it came to the line, I gave it everything I had.”
The silver capped an excellent World Championship debut for Jameson, who finished fifth in Friday’s individual time trial before stepping onto the podium in Monday’s road race.
