‘I don’t feel the tension’ – Lorena Wiebes ready to sprint for gold in Olympic debut

Lorena Wiebes has arrived in Paris and will compete in her first Olympic Games as the leader of the Dutch team in the women’s road race on August 4. 

Wiebes is considered the fastest sprinter in women’s road cycling, but she has also transformed herself into a powerful climber in recent years. This has made her a favourite to win the gold medal, but she says she is heading into this weekend relaxed about her prospects.
