Three-time world time trial champion Ellen van Dijk of the Netherlands will compete in the race against the clock at the Paris Olympics six weeks after fracturing her ankle during training camp and requiring surgery. The Dutch Cycling Federation announced Wednesday that van Dijk would be ready for the Summer Games beginning in just over a week. It's the culmination of a remarkable recovery that began with riding in a cast. It sets up a potential showdown on the streets of Paris between her and Chloe Dygert, the reigning world time trial champion from the United States.
