THE WINNING MOVE OF THE DECADE
I know it’s old news now but…
“I thought I’ll give it a go and I breathed in, shut my eyes and went through the gap.” Sir Chris Hoy, Keirin World Champion. Seriously did that with his eyes closed. I love Hoy’s parents’ reaction in the upper left corner of this video. Priceless.
UPDATE: Check out Alfred’s YouTube Playlist for more highlights from last weekend’s World Championships in Melbourne. Full results are up at Tissot Timing.
MEANWHILE IN MELBOURNE!
I can’t believe it’s already that time of year. The UCI Track World Championships are going on this week at Hisense Arena — the last big international track meet before the 2012 Olympics.
I’ll try to find some kind of live stream but for now, check the details HERE.
CLAUDIO GOLINELLI - WORLD CHAMPION 1989
Italy’s Claudio Golinelli flies to win two World Champion titles in the Sprint and the Keirin during the 1989 World Championships at Lyon.
Another awesome image from the Numerious archives.
I had let go of what I knew I was good at and spent time after time working on something I wasn’t so good at, and in the end, after all the toils and pain and struggles and sacrifice, I finally had achieved it. World Sprint Champion.
— Anna Meares, first Australian female to win a World Title in the Sprint.
Quoted from Anna’s personal recap of the World Champs in Apeldoorn. On her blog, she gives us a play-by-play account of her three days in competition and how she won three World Champion titles including the Sprint. Definitely worth reading!
Found on Cycling News.
