Jordanian cycling champion Samah Khaled achieved a remarkable result by finishing eighth in the third stage of the Internationale Oder Rundfahrt 2025 held in Germany — just a few weeks after her return to racing.

Despite the rainy weather conditions, Samah completed the 91-kilometer stage with an average speed of 40 km/h, amid fierce competition featuring 66 elite riders from around the world. The stage also saw the withdrawal of four competitors.

She finished the race with the same time as a group of top contenders, including the national champion of Greece and the third-place winner of the Austrian national championship, showcasing the high level of performance she has reached.

This race served as an important preparatory milestone in Samah’s training program as she gets ready for upcoming events sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), reaffirming her strong presence and determination to compete at the highest international levels.
