Cyclist and rower Rebecca Romero has high Olympics hopes
British cyclist and rower Rebecca Romero has high hopes for the Olympic Gamess after her incredible success at cycling's world championships.
Rebecca Romero, 28, claimed gold on Thursday in the individual pursuit and this was all the more impressive because it was only two years ago that she gave up rowing for a change of direction.
Rebecca Romero abandoned her rowing career due to an injured back at the time, and after she had won silver at the 2004 Olympics and gold at the 2005 world championships.
Reflecting on her most recent achievement, Rebecca Romero said: "Following that up is the tough part but it's only upwards now."
Rebecca Romero's amazing success in becoming the best in the world in two very different sports is a unique achievement.
The British Olympic Association says that Rebecca Romero will become the first UK female Olympian to have taken medals in two different sports if she makes it to the podium in the Olympic Games.
