    World Junior Track Cycling Championship: For the first time in the history of Indian sports, the Cycling Federation of India (CFI) is banking on a foreign coach, a two-time Olympic Games medallist, and a few talented youngsters to participate in the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 2028. The first target for them will be the World Championship to be held later this year.

    India’s hopes of competing in the cycling programme at the Los Angeles Olympics centre around Frenchman Kevin Sireau and a clutch of talented young men who have already established their credentials on the Asian and world junior circuits. Supported by the Union Sports Ministry, overseas coaches have had a role to play in almost every Olympic sport where India have excelled globally. This is the first time the Cycling Federation of India is riding on two-time Olympic medallist Kevin Sireau of France to fully exploit the potential of the national cycling ecosystem.

    The 37-year-old Sireau, a professional racing cyclist, joined CFI in January and in four months, is already sniffing the eagerness among India’s best cyclists to excel internationally. India are not only the Asian champions but has been the junior world champions in the sprint category.
