Paris Olympics: Sporting Gesture By German Cycling Team Allows Nigerian Rider To Compete On Track
Paris Olympics: Nigeria's first Olympic cyclist has given her thanks to the German team for a gesture which allowed her to make history for her country and compete in both road and track events.
Ese Ukpeseraye was given a late entry into the women's sprint and Keirin events after arriving in Paris with the Nigerian delegation, but due to the "short notice" given over her inclusion in the events, she didn't have a specialist track bike to compete.
The cycles used at Olympic and other track events are completely different to those used in road races, without gears or brakes and with a 'fixed wheel' system and also a disc wheel on the back to allow for greater aerodynamics.
