Shuang
Guo (China) was very pleased with the teams performance in the
sprint. “We are very happy to have Gold. Finally we are leading
this competition. I think we can keep this going and go faster,”
said Guo. Silver
medalist, Vicki Pendleton (Great
Britain), was very happy to be racing again in Melbourne. “It
is good to be back,” said Pendleton. Reflecting
on her poor start, Pendelton added, “I had a really crappy start
in the final. I was let go a little too early and I had to balance myself
then start which meant I had to chase Jess [Varmish]. I am not experienced
enough toput my hand up and show that I wasn’t ready. I will learn that
for next time.” “It
is really important for us to be in the top 5 European nation for the
Olympics. With Jess being a fairly new member fo the team and
usbeinga new partnership, I think we did really well,” she
added.
