The women’s Hour Record holder, Vittoria Bussi, has ended her career “with bitterness in my mouth” following an unsuccessful world record attempt.
The Italian, now 37 years old, spent last weekend in Aguascalientes, Mexico, trying to break the 3,000m individual pursuit record, which stood at 3:16.937, set by the USA’s Chloé Dygert in 2020.
