Rio 2016: Elinor Barker eyeing cycling team pursuit world record
Welsh cyclist Elinor Barker has targeted a world record if Great Britain women's pursuit team qualify for Rio 2016.
Barker defied illness to help GB take bronze in the team pursuit at the recent Track World Cup in Colombia.
The 21-year-old, a World and European team pursuit champion, says they will have to be at their best to break the record.
"What we're really hoping for is the world record," Barker said.
"What the world record is as that point, nobody knows. At the minute it's 4:13, which is about three seconds faster than we've ever gone ourselves.
"The world record really did jump up at the most recent World Championships and if we can beat that then we can be really happy."
Australia women's pursuit team set a new world record time of four minutes 13.683 seconds at the 2015 World Championships in February.
