Pauline Ferrand-Prévot received a call from President Macron just moments after winning Olympic mountain bike gold at Paris 2024. Ferrand-Prévot won the cross-country race by more than three minutes, marking the perfect end to her mountain bike career before she switches her focus to the road. Just a few days after winning gold, Ferrand-Prévot spoke to Sportsworld’s Lee James in Paris about life as an Olympic champion, her call with President Macron and what's next for the French cyclist.
