Dutch cyclist Jeffrey Hoogland says the 鈥渁mazing feeling鈥� of breaking the long-standing men's 1km time trial world record has given him a 鈥渕ental boost鈥� ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The current world champion posted a time of 55.433 seconds in Mexico 鈥� almost a second ahead of Francois Pervis' 2013 benchmark of 56.303 seconds which was the longest-standing track cycling world record.

Hoogland set the new record at the Aguascalientes Velodrome in Mexico, recording an average speed of 64.943km/h.

Hoogland speaks to 大象传媒 Sport鈥檚 Matt Warwick after his moment of history.
