Switzerland's Fabian Cancellara powered his way to his second Olympic medal in four days, beating Sweden's Gustav Larsson yesterday to take the gold in the men's time-trial. American Levi Leipheimer finished more than a minute behind Cancellara for the bronze in the 47.3 km race against the clock. Cancellara, who surprised himself with the bronze in the men's road race on Saturday, pumped his arm as he crossed the finish line.
