	Mum, dad toasted Anna's win with 'couple of tinnies' - Cycling -
		As cyclist Anna Meares was riding the race of her life at the Athens Olympics, her parents were watching their daughter on a tiny, portable television half a world away.
		Meares was the last rider and, despite the immense pressure, she finished the 500m in 33.952s - a world record.
		Meares was inspired to ride after watching champion cyclist Kathy Watts, and her first Olympic memory was in 1996, when swimmer Kieren Perkins won the 1500m at Atlanta.

	The Epoch Times \| Cycling-Meares Breaks 500m Time Trial World Record
		Meares shaved 0.008 seconds off the previous world record of 33.952 she set to win the gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics, reaffirming her as the world's top female sprinter after a back injury threatened to end her career.
		Anna, now 23, took her place and duly won the world crown, then broke the world record to add the Olympic title later that same year, but almost quit the sport last year after suffering a bulging disc.
		Meares has her sights set on the 2008 Beijing Olympics but has had to switch from the time trial to the sprint after her preferred event was scrapped from the programme to make way for BMX.

	CNN.com - Australian cyclists double triumph - Mar 16, 2006
		Meares, the Olympic 500 meters time trial champion, confirmed her pedigree with a comfortable victory, but Kersten's success was unexpected.
		But Meares, cheered on by her parents who were in attendance to watch their daughter at a major championships for the first time, eclipsed Pendleton's mark to take gold on 34.326 seconds.
		Anna's sister Kerrie, the 2002 Manchester champion, made it a night to remember for the Meares family by claiming the bronze medal in 35.210 seconds.

	sport.iafrica.com \| today World record for Aussie cyclist
		Australia's world champion Anna Meares produced a world record when it counted to stun her rivals and win the women's 500 metre time trial at the Athens Olympics on Friday.
		Meares was in the reverse situation at the world championships in Melbourne last May when she held the best time of 34.342 seconds, and had to sweat it out with seven riders left in the competition before claiming the title.
		Meares' older sister, Kerrie, was the former Australian champion in the time trial, and probably would have been in Athens ahead of her sibling if not for a back injury last year which ruled her out of the Games.

		In the first heat, it looked like Meares was going to continue her no-nonsense charge to the final, as she came around Muenzer before the sprint and then held her off in 11.802 seconds, which turned out to be the fastest time in the semi-final.
		In the bronze medal heat, Anna Meares got a consolation, as both times she led from the front and was able to stave off the world sprint champion, who had actually beaten her 2-1 to win that event.
		Nonetheless, Meares won't be too disappointed having taken 500m TT gold on the first day; Grankovskaya, though, has shown few shades of the form that took her to world championship glory, having had to qualify through the repechage for the quarter finals.

		Meares, who took an extended break after her wedding in April, says she has had a solid block of training leading up to next week's event which kicks off her bid for Beijing glory and is happy to say her back injury seems to be a thing of the past.
		Meares will race the 500m time trial, sprint, keirin and teams sprint (paired with sister Kerrie) in Sydney but the sprint will be of special significance.
		Meares is the only rider to have defeated Tsylinskaya in the event at the World Championships since 2002 (Meares won in 2004 in Melbourne) and got the better of her Belarus rival in Athens as well.

		Meares broke her own world record en-route to gold in the 500m time trial at the Dunc Gray Velodrome before returning to the track with her sister Kerrie to win a second gold in the women's team sprint.
		Meares, who almost quit the sport last year after suffering a serious back injury, shaved eight thousandths of a second off the time she set winning gold at the Athens Olympics, posting 33.944 in finishing ahead of Lithuanian Simona Krupeckaite and Yvonne Hijgenaar of the Netherlands.
		Meares said her recovery from the injury and preparation for the event had been "faultless".

		Meares shaved 0.008 of a second off her record for the 500-metre time trial at the UCI Track Cycling World Cup, setting a new mark of 33.994s.
		Meares overcame the pain of torn and bulging discs in her back and an amended training program to win the event at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, and silver at the world championships in France in April.
		Meares' world record more than compensated for her being knocked out in the quarter-finals of the women's sprint on Friday night after drawing Tsylinskaya, an eight-time world champion.
