ANNETTE EDMONDSON Onward And Upward
AUSTRALIAN CYCLIST ANNETTE EDMONDSON hung up her bike late last year, calling time on her 10 years of racing at an international level. And although she didn’t achieve her dream of winning Olympic Gold, she says she’s satisfied with her many achievements and ready for new adventures.
“I have another few years in me physically, but my mind is done. I’ve run out of mental bickies,” said Edmondson. “While I did not achieve my ultimate goal of Olympic gold on the track, I have achieved almost everything else that I set out to do.”
Edmondson’s achievements on the track representing Australia include three world titles, an Olympic bronze medal, two Commonwealth Games gold medals, and 16 national titles representing her home state of South Australia.
Her new adventure keeps her within the sport, setting up her own business to act as an agent for cyclists, as well as mentoring up-and-coming cyclists with a particular focus on women.
