Gilmore eyeing more success on 2026 World Tour
For anything he may lack in physical stature, Goldfields cyclist Brady Gilmore makes up for in spades with steadfast determination and unwavering attention-to-detail. At just 172cm and 70kg, Gilmore packs a big punch — underpinned by stunning results that last week earned him a new three-year professional deal, and a crack at next year's lucrative World Tour. Gilmore, who is based at the epicentre of European cycling in Girona, Spain, earlier this year enjoyed his first two professional wins, via victories in two stages of the Tour de Rwanda. The 24-year-old also won the Circuit des Ardennes in France and the Tour de Taiwan. His father, well-known local businessman Chris Gilmore, said it had been an exciting start to the year for the 24-year-old. 'He signed that (new) contract on Thursday and is looking forward to not having to pay for anything anymore,' Chris Gilmore said. 'Girona is known as a Mecca for pro cyclists and it's been great for Brody, as one of the winningest riders in the world at the moment. 'He's had a fantastic start to the year.' It continues a stunning rise to international ranks for Gilmore, who only took up cycling in March 2020 and barely a year later he was over east contesting the national road series. In 2022, he stamped himself among the nation's brightest prospects with a high-profile victory at the Oceanic Continental Championships across 123.5km in Brisbane. Two years ago, he was part of the Australian under-23 team for the 2023 UCI world championships in Glasgow, but was stricken by illness. He still managed to finish mid-pack in the individual time trial. Gilmore spent years excelling as a motocross rider, including a three-year stint at a US training facility in Cairo, Georgia. But the onset of COVID-19 forced him back to WA.

Cheatham County Sheriff's Office deploying lifesaving tool
CHEATHAM COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — Lifesaving tools are coming to Cheatham County. Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) can restore a person's normal heartbeat if they go into cardiac arrest. The Cheatham County Sheriff's Office has wanted some for quite a while, but budget cuts kept getting in the way until a company stepped in. One AED can be pricey, reaching up to $2,500, a price the sheriff's office says they just couldn't afford. 📧 Have breaking news come to you: → However, after looking around, they found a company that partners with law enforcement agencies called Master Medical Equipment, which offered to sell them 27 AEDs for half the price, saving them thousands of dollars. Now they're able to put AEDs in 70% of their patrol cars, as well as install two at the sheriff's office. Lt. Chris Gilmore said having this tool will save countless lives. 'It's very proactive from a sheriff's office standpoint. Typically, we're dealing with crime and calls like that, and this puts another lifesaving measure at our men's and women's fingertips to help with EMS and fire,' Gilmore said. 'A lot of times, my men and women are the first ones to respond or CPR in progress, whatever the case may be. What we found is early CPR and early defibrillation are the key to saving lives.' ⏩ Lt. Gilmore said the Cheatham County Sheriff's Office will go through a training process and make sure all of their deputies are up to date on how AEDs work. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
