Linda Villumsen, an out cyclist who competes for New Zealand, has won the world time trials championships in cycling for the first time in her illustrious career.
As gaynz.com pointed out, her partner, retired cyclist Emma Trott, has not held back her pride in her partner's huge victory:

I had a feeling yesterday @LVillumsen would win! She told me to keep my mouth shut I make her nervous! #bloodyproud

While the Tour de France leader wears a yellow jersey, the world champion sports a rainbow jersey. Fitting that Villumsen would slip into a rainbow jersey for her big title.
