Armstrong mines gold


Kristin Armstrong of the United States carved the winning difference on a long downhill section to claim the gold medal in the Woman's Individual Time Trial on Wednesday.
Emma Pooley of Great Britain set an early fast time, but was knocked down to the silver medal by Armstrong's powerful performance in the second half of the one-lap, 23.5km course up and down a steep climb along the Badaling section of the Great Wall.
