HIGHLIGHTS OF CYCLING AT THE GOODWILL GAMES

• 1994: Women's road cycling was swept by the United States team with an exciting finish between gold medalist Brooke Blackwelder and silver medalist Karen Bliss-Livingston. The two women finished the 25km course at exactly the same time, and judges had to use the second tie-breaking criterion (winner of the final lap) to declare Blackwelder the champion.
• 1986: Three world records were set: Michael Huebner of Germany in men's sprints, Soviet Union for the Men's 4 km team pursuit and Erika Salumyae of the Soviet Union for women's sprints.
