Rebecca Romero is hoping to become only the second woman in Olympic history to win medals in two different sports.

She won a silver medal in the quadruple sculls in Athens and has now turned to cycling.

She recently won the 3000 meter cycling World Cup in Copenhagen.

Romero said: “It was my first gold medal as a cyclist after a number of silvers.

“It is a long time since I was on top of a podium standing there for the national anthem and it was a fabulous feeling.”
