BEIJING, 15 August – Comments from Kelsey HABIG (USA) before the Men’s Team Sprint competition on opening day at the Laoshan Velodrome on Friday.

On the favorites to win the competition:
“France comes in as the reigning world champion, but the British are a machine that cannot be reckoned with as of late. The Dutch team should be hungry, too. Don’t count out the Germans either, as they attempt to defend their Athens Olympic Gold. Australia is a long shot but should be tough competition.”
On the USA’s chances:
“The USA is not a threat in this competition. However, should they pull a miracle and make the medal stand, I won’t be able to hold back the tears during the Star Spangled Banner.”
On the athlete’s to watch:
“Stefan NIMKE (GER) is the only returning gold medalist, so it should be fun to see him match his experience with his teammates’ youthful energy to try and work some magic on the track.. As always, Theo BOS (NED), Chris HOY (GBR) and the retiring Arnaud TOURNANT (FRA) should put on a good show.”
“It should be a fantastic start to the track cycling events, and I’m looking forward to seeing it all happen!”
On where you might see her on TV:
“I’m not exactly sure, but pay close attention to the area around the medal stand. The mixed zone is immediately to the left and right of it, so check for the ‘blue army’ outfit, the blond hair, and of course the fantastically sexy blue ONS bib. During the victory ceremony, I will probably be standing off the left shoulder of the bronze medalist.”

The ONS bib you should look out for on TV :)
