A 24-year-old cancer researcher from Germany becomes the first woman to win the Transcontinental Race across Europe.
Fiona Kolbinger, a 24-year-old cancer researcher from Germany, became the first woman to win the Transcontinental Race across Europe on Tuesday morning.
"I am so, so, surprised to win. Even now," she said at the finish line, according to a statement released by the race organization."When I was coming into the race I thought that maybe I could go for the women’s podium, but I never thought I could win the whole race." According to Kolbinger's Strava account -- an app that monitors a person's cycling and running routes -- she raced about 330 miles in nearly 24 hours on her 10th day in the Transcontinental Race.
The Transcontinental Race, founded in 2013, is a self-supported race, meaning that competitors do not have support vehicles or teams to help with supplies, including food and accommodations.
