Like all cyclists, track riders try their best to forget crashes but Amy Cure believes the one that spoiled Australia's charge in 2016 for Olympic gold in the team pursuit is different.
The Tasmanian star was part of a squad fancied for a medal in Brazil before a training incident saw all but one member fall just three days out from competition.
A re-jigged line-up managed to ride through the pain of multiple injuries to finish fifth and add another chapter to a sorry Olympic campaign that amounted to just two medals on the track.
Cure insists there are no mental scars from the accident and says the adversity has actually helped them grow in the two years since the setback.
"You learn things from every race and crashes do happen; if we were to think about it every time we got on a bike we wouldn't get far," the 25-year-old said.
"It's more looking forward than back at what can happen ... you go in with a fresh mind but it does give you that bit extra to go that one step better."
