AMY CURE is a world champion and reigning world record holder. Now, the young Tasmanian is chasing the biggest prize of all — Olympic gold.

Cure, 23, of Penguin, is a key member of one of the fastest women’s cycling teams on the planet, the Aussie pursuit team having set the world record in Paris last year.

Cure went to the 2012 London Games and came away empty-handed. She is determined to make amends this time around.
