Van Moorsel breaks hour record

Olympic and world champion Leontien Zijlaard-Van Moorsel broke the world hour record in Mexico on
Wednesday. The Dutchwoman rode 46.397km to beat the mark set by France's Jeannie Longo. Zijlaard-Van
Moorsel, who defended her world individual pursuit title in Stuttgart last month, made the attempt
at Mexico's Olympic Centre. Longo set a world record of 45.094km in December 2000. Zijlaard-Van
Moorsel had tried to beat Longo's record last September in Manchester but managed only 43.475km.

Hi, Great performance from a great athlete and woman, but funny enough in the course of the evening
three different results were announced. At first 46349 meters, then the one you mention, 46397
meters and now the official result, it seems, according to her website, more than 300 meter less:
46065 meters and 11 cm. How is this possible? Does anyone have a explanation?

This is NOTHING. My ex-partner spent a full hour berating me about polishing the silver knives after
being in the dishwasher. I reckin this is a truly outstanding women's record.
