Ellen van Dijk to Compete in Olympics Weeks After Ankle Surgery

The three-time world champion will join a strong Dutch cycling team despite a recent injury.

Van Dijk broke her ankle in a training camp accident six weeks ago and required surgery.
She has made a rapid recovery and will compete in the time trial and road race events.
The Dutch team aims to continue its strong Olympic performance with a robust lineup.
Van Dijk's participation sets up a potential showdown with reigning champion Chloe Dygert.
The Netherlands topped the cycling medal table at the Tokyo Olympics with five golds.
