The countdown is on for the 2024 Paris Games. The opening ceremonies take place on Friday evening, and the first cycling event, the individual time trial, gets going the very next day. With it comes Team USA's first chance at a medal, and a gold one at that, if Chloe Dygert (Canyon-SRAM) has her say.
