Synopsis: Athens Olympic Games 500m time trial gold medallist Anna Meares was preparing for the Beijing Olympic Games when disaster struck: riding the keirin at the Los Angeles World Cup event she crashed heavily, fracturing her C2 vertebra. It was an injury that almost cost Meares her life.
This autobiography is an account of her recovery and subsequent silver medal at last year’s Olympics in the Chinese capital. It takes readers from her success in Athens through to that fateful day in Los Angeles in January 2008 and beyond, a faithful recollection of the aftermath and mental and physical struggle to get back to the top of her sport.
