Evelyn Stevens is hoping for success in Rio.

The 33-year-old only took up cycling seven years ago and has since represented USA at London 2012.

This year she became the UCI world record holder for the longest distance covered in a hour time trial. On whether she can win a medal at this year’s summer Olympics, her philosophy is: "If you don’t believe you can do it then I don’t think you can".
