- description: Czech Jaroslav Kulhavy made a decisive move in the closing stages to claim the Olympic men's mountain bike title on Sunday after defending champion Julien Absalon of France suffered a game changing early puncture. World champion Kulhavy produced an impressive ride on the seven 4.7 kilometre laps on a course overlooking the Thames estuary in Hadleigh Farm, east of London.Kulhavy overtook Swiss world number one Nino Schurter, who took silver one second behind, at the top of the final uphill drag and kept his advantage in the descent before sprinting to the line. Italian Marco Aurelio Fontana took bronze, 25 seconds off the pace.It was really hard. We went full gas all day," Kulhavy told the BBC.I gave everything, all my energy. This was so important for me this year. I've now won everything, the World Cup, the world championship and now the Olympic title.This is the most special day in the sport for me. It was easy for the first half of the race but the finish was pretty hard and Nino was very strong so it was a big fight," Kulhavy then told reporters.
