Team USA cyclist Kristen Faulkner’s unusual path to the Olympics - Subtítulos bilingües

There are many different roads to the Olympics but few quite as unique as the one taken by cyclist Kristin Faulkner.

Other sports I was good at and I enjoyed but I didn't have that same deep passion that I knew was cycling.

So quickly did it happen for you.

You're like oh my god I love this.

Yeah right away.

You're unlikely.

journey began in Homer, Alaska.

Is Homer Alaska really the halibut capital of the world?

It's self-proclaimed halibut fishing capital of the world.

And you drive into town, there's a big sign.

There actually is a sign.

My parents won a hotel restaurant in Alaska.

And when we were kids, they had us work every single job at the...

hotel restaurant.

No bike racing.

Not yet.

Both my parents are quite outdoorsy and we did a lot of hiking outdoors at Harvard where she studied computer science.

She rode crew still no cycling then she moved to New York City starting a job in venture capital.

I still needed to have that outdoors fix that was such a big part of my life.

And that's when she first started cycling with a lot to learn.

I couldn't clip in and I was like why is this not working and I was starting to get really embarrassed.

And then finally we realized I just had incompatible cleats and pedals.

Once she got the right shoes, she was off.

It was kind of my outlet every day to get into Central Park and ride for two hours away from the bustle of the city.

We'd wake up and start training at 5am.

The passion for riding quickly turned into more than just a hobby.

I came with this really big physical engine from rowing and other sports that really helped me in cycling.

But I was also a very quick learner.

She had a meteoric rise in the sport quitting her job.

to race as a pro in Europe, only a handful of years after cycling through the first time.

Now she has a spot on Team USA, which would be the best adjective to describe your trajectory in this sport.

I would honestly use the word resilience, but I've had a concussion, I've been hit by the car, and every time, I've never loved it.

cost my passion to keep going.

It's never a matter of if I'll keep going.

It's just a matter of how.

The unusual pedigree aside, there is no doubt Faulkner is an Olympian.
