Eight days before the start of the race, the St. Paul Daily Globe began profiling the women, offering brief descriptions of them and their past achievements. Louise Armaindo, the paper declared, had "the best record in the world among women as an all-round athlete," including the ability to lift 760 pounds "without shoulder straps." –Wheels of Change, Sue Macy Read the passage.

Answer:

I think the answer should be Women were worthy cycling racers.

Explanation: "Some did not support women racing" would not be the answer because it said nothing about people not supporting women racing. "Horses often beat cyclists in racing" I didn't read anything that said horses were better than women at racing. And "Bicycle racing was a popular sport", or course it was a popular sport in the passage, but it wasn't found in the quotation.
