Anna Kiesenhofer (German pronunciation: [ˈanaː ˈkiːsn̩ˌhoːfɐ]; born 14 February 1991) is an Austrian professional cyclist and mathematician, who last rode for UCI Women's WorldTeam Roland Le Dévoluy. Kiesenhofer gained fame when she won the gold medal in the women's individual road race at the 2020 Summer Olympics, the first Summer Olympics gold medal for Austria since 2004 and their first cycling Olympic gold medal since 1896. Unfancied for a medal pre-race, she attacked in the first seconds of the event and soloed to victory, her pursuers mistakenly unaware of her position, in a win described as "one of the greatest upsets in Olympics and cycling history".
