Of note is Clara Hughes signing with the new team. Super impressive/interesting at 39 years of age.
Jeannie Longo was amazing too right up until her husband (and personal trainer) got busted for buying EPO and she got a disciplinary hearing for failing to be present at a random drug test 3 times in a row.
honestly, she’s just a fucking super athlete who’s had good luck with physical health, though harder times with mental health. Anyone who can go to the olympics is amazing, but to medal different sports and potentially have her as a world class athlete for almost twenty years is an entirely different ordeal altogether.
i raced against her at Nationals and died! good experience tho
There is a huge difference between being almost 50 and being almost 40.
True.
