With the Olympics just around the corner it seems that everyone is getting prepared for the event taking place next year. Team GB is getting themselves well organized for the games and intends on representing our country buy being the best they can be. However a lot of speculation has come forward that the cycling team will not win as much as they had hoped.
In 2008 at the Beijing Olympics, the British team won 8 gold medals for their efforts in the games. A performance director has announced that they will not win as many gold medals as they did at the previous Olympic Games as some of the actual competitions are changing and altering at the London 2012 games.
Cyclists Chris Hoy, Mark Cavendish, Victoria Pendleton and Bradley Wiggins will all be taking part in the London 2012 Olympics and hoping to achieve their dream gold medals. The change in the games however may mean that their hopes of glory are dashed and that their gold medals will not even be achievable.
Winning on home soil means a lot to these competitors and now their dreams of gold in London next year are becoming more and more unlikely. The team has spoken about this statement and they are sure that their efforts to succeed at the Olympics next year will be rewarded and they are practising their skills and putting the time in to be the very best that they can be.
We are sure that the cycling team of Team GB will do us proud next year and try their upmost to win those medals and achieve their glory. The country is well behind the team and supporting them all the way. More and more people are looking at the Olympic Games for inspiration in taking up a new sport.
