This is Mara Abbott, a professional cyclist from Boulder, Colorado, who competed in the 2016 Rio Olympics women's road race on Sunday.
With a flat 10 kilometers ahead of her, Abbott was in the gold medal position, until a pack of three worked to overtake her.
In the final seconds of the race, with the finish line IN SIGHT, Abbott slipped from first to fourth place.
Here's a video of the final stretch.
