Australian Anna Wilson had to settle for another heartbreaking fourth place, just six seconds behind 41-year-old French veteran Jeannie Longo-Ciprelli who took the bronze. Zijlaard blitzed the field to win in a stunning 42min00sec to win from Mari Holden of the United States (42min37sec). It was Zijlaard's third gold medal at the Sydney Games, adding to her Olympic title and world record in the 3000m individual pursuit, gold in the road race and silver in the points race. Wilson, who went into both road events as a keen medal favourite, said she had been replaying the sprint finish in the road race over and over in her mind and was more regretful about that event.

Extractions: FIFTY YEARS HAVE PASSED since Trinidad and Tobago began its Olympic journey. A half century since a team of three athletes travelled to the 1948 games in London with the aim of attaining glory for a small British colony. With the exception of 1960, the last five decades have seen this nation represented in 12 Olympiads with a total of 90 athletes in eight different disciplines: badminton, boxing, cycling, shooting, swimming, track and field, weightlifting and yachting. It wasn't until the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo that Trinidad and Tobago returned to the fold as an independent nation with a team of ten competitors. It was on the athletic track that the greatest prosperity was attained. Edwin Roberts, an outstanding collegian with the University of North Carolina, made it to the final of the 200m where he earned a bronze medal. The 1972 Olympic Games in Munich saw two important records being established. Trinidad and Tobago fielded its largest ever contingent of 20 athletes, among whom a female sprinter, Laura Pierre was included for the first time. Once again, the top performances came on the athletic track.

Extractions: History of Road Cycling: Cycling has enjoyed resurgence in Australia due largely to the success of Australian cyclists overseas. In recent years Australian Professionals’ such as Phil Anderson, Neil Stephens, Robbie McEwen and Stuart O’Grady have enjoyed stage wins in the Worlds biggest cycle race, "Le Tour de France". Phil Anderson and Stuart O’Grady remain the only two Australians’ to ever wear the leaders yellow jersey. Technology advances are making considerable differences to the average speeds of cyclists. At the 1992 Olympic Games, Britain’s Chris Boardman won the 4000m Individual Pursuit on his new "high-tech" bike, using lightweight and aerodynamic materials produced by Formula One racing car manufacturer, Lotus.

Although Hughes earned her Olympic bronze medal in the 5,000-meter event, she feels that if there was a womens 10,000-meter event that she would thrive in it, and that "shorter" 3,000-meter events feel more like a sprint to her.

Extractions: Olympic cycling includes both individual and team competitions over different types of terrain. Olympic cycling has three distinct categories: "road racing," "track racing," and "mountain biking." Track events occur on steeply banked tracks called "velodromes." Road racing is racing on paved roadways. Mountain bike racing takes place off-road. In time trials, competitors race against the clock to record the fastest time. In this all-out race, a cyclist is said to have "hit the wall" when his or her legs can no longer pedal at a rapid pace. Match sprints are three laps, with riders seeded on the basis of a 200-meter time trial. In pursuit races, two cyclists or teams of cyclists start off on opposite sides of the track. If one cyclist, or team, catches the other, the race is over. Otherwise, the winner is the first one to cross the finish line. Points races can be the most fun to watch but are among the most difficult to understand. The cyclist who has the most points usually wins; however, a rider can also win if he "laps the field" (goes ahead of everyone else by a lap) and maintains his advantage throughout the race regardless of his total points.

Union Cycliste Internationale HISTORY OF MALAYSIAN NATIONAL CYCLING FEDERATION It is not known when actually the sport of bicycle racing was introduced in Malaysia. From reliable sources it is believed that bicycle racing was introduced by British Soldiers posted to Malaya before 1938. It was only in 1938 that organised activities in the sport of bicycle racing began with a number of Road races being held in and around Kuala Lumpur. The first State in Malaysia to form an Association was Selangor in 1938 with a number of Bicycle Racing Clubs already in existence then such as the " Rough Riders " "Agas Wheelers" and others. With the formation of the Selangor State Cycling Association, cycling activities started to spread to other States like Perak, Melaka and Penang. The Malaysian National Cycling Federation was formed in 1953 thanks to the untiring efforts of the late Mr. Gurchan Singh and Captain C.O. Jennings (an officer of the New Zealand Regiment) with the States of Selangor, Melaka, Perak and Penang being affiliated members. The Registration Number of the Federation was RSM 146/55.

Extractions: Webmaster of Irish Cycle Racing Roche would be second four times, twice to his fellow Irishman and then twice again to Miguel Indurain who would take over from Kelly. In 1982 Kelly won the 12th stage in the Tour de France as well and four stages en route to overall victory in the Paris-Nice. Hundreds of Irish fans flooded across to Goodwood for the world championships that year. Kelly almost provided them with the result they hungered for but, after chasing down Hennie Kuiper, he had to settle for third place behind Giuseppe Saronni and a rising star in the person of Greg LeMond. He put the finishing touches to the 1983 season by winning the Tour of Lombardy when victory over Greg LeMond proved to be another significant milestone in his career. That year he had 16 wins despite the fact that he had missed out on much of the season with a broken collar bone suffered in the Tour des Midi-Pyrenees. Nobody expected what was to come in 1984, however. He won two stages en route to a second victory in the Paris-Nice and the three stages en route to a second overall victory in the Criterium Internationale as well as three stages and overall in the Tour du Pays Basque.

Riding High On The Cycle Of History Edgar Bieber and the rest of the 1936 US olympic cycling team watch in bewilderment seesthe face that will soon change the course of world history, the face http://www.gwu.edu/~bygeorge/nov5ByG!/bieber.html
Extractions: Reaching into his bag, Bieber retrieves a pair of binoculars and peers across the mammoth stadium to catch a glimpse of what could be causing the commotion. Adjusting the focus of his glasses, Bieber sees the face that will soon change the course of world history, the face of evil itself, the face of Adolf Hitler. A resident of the Schenley for 63 years, Bieber remembers the days when the street lamps were lit by hand, when there were civil defense blackouts, and when Foggy Bottom suffered from a frog infestation. He delivered newspapers to the Schenley building as a teenager, when the first Miss America Pageant winner, Margaret Gorman, still owned it. Fate introduced Bieber to the sport that would become his passion. While growing up in Southeast DC, the United States cycling champion, Charles Smithson, lived across the street from him. While one brilliant career ended, another started when Smithson retired and gave Bieber his equipment, bike, and jersey. Not long after, Bieber won his first title, District of Columbia champion, in 1927.
