168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Geoff Kabush (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Scott-3Roxracing) is one of four mountain bikers named to the Cana🎃dian Olympic team last week. Kabush and Max Plaxton will be compe꧙ting 🍃in the elite men's cross country race on August 12 at the London Olympic Games.

"The Olympics is a special event in the sporting world. It's my third Olympics. Having experience behind me, I feel like I'm heading back for t꧒he performance," said the 35-year-old Kabush.

For Kabush, heading across the pond is a sort of homecoming. "I lived in England for a year when I was younger and spent several weeks there lౠast summer. We know what we're going into over there. It will be cᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚalmer mentally, and the [Canadian] national team has done a fantastic job with the planning."

Kabush finished 20th at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and nint🐭h in Sydney in 2000. Having this Olympics in a place that is more familiar should be an advantage.

"Beijing had a lot of challenges with the travel and other concerns. We got to check out the venue [in London] twice now. The venues have become more compact in the past few years. They built this course from scratch. It's not so natural and more manufactured, but it's definitely challenging. It will showcase the sport well and will be a good competition and a꧑ great race to watch."

Kabush raced to 16th at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mont-Sainte-Anne World Cup this weekend. It wasn't his best day. "It was rough off the start. I had a couple of brake checks early on and looked up after the first couple of corners and was in 30th or 40th," he said. "I really dug hard on the start loop and first singletrack to get myself up in the top 20. I think I got as high aꦓs 12th or 13, but I didn't have the gas to push through after th🎐at to where I wanted to be."

He will take it easy and rest up for the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:World Cup this weekend in Windham. After that, it's a trip to Sun Valley and home for 10 days before head🍌ing to the final World Cup in Val d'Isere, France. Then it'🍨s time for London in the two weeks prior to the big day.

"In London, I want to compete for the podium. I know on a good day, I cꦑan compete at the front. I've put a lot of prepar🔴ation into the Olympic Games and I can do that if it all comes together."
