RONSE, Belgium — Clara Brown has added another world title to her cycling career.
Brown won the women’s C3 road race Sunday at the UCI Paracycling Road World Championships in Belgium.
The victory marks her second world championship in road cycling, adding to the time trial title she claimed in 2022.
Brown grew up in Falmouth . Her first love was gymnastics and she dreamed of competing on the Olympic stage. Then, when she was 12 years old, Brown landed on her neck at practice, causing major damage to two of her vertebrates. She said she remembers being told she would probably never walk again.
"I just didn't really fully process it, I was so young," Brown said during an interview with NEWS CENTER Maine in 2019. "I didn't understand what a spinal cord injury was and what that meant."
