IZU, Japan (Reuters) - Olympic mountain bike great Nino Schurter missed out on a fourth medal on Monday, but the Swiss veteran did not rule out returning for another attempt at the podium in Paris in 2024.

The 35-year-old defending champion finished fourth after fading late on at the Izu circuit, meaning he failed to continue his remarkable record in the event in which he also won bronze in Beijing and silver in London.
