Claudia Marcks Rides for Gold

Twenty-two-year-old cyclist Claudia Marcks is set to compete in her first Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, representing Australia’s elite 25-person squad with a gold medal goal. Though her Olympic gold-medal-winning rowing mom Megan and rowing-obsessed dad have always supported her athletic dreams, Claudia found her true calling on two wheels—not in the boat, but on the bike. After relocating to Adelaide to train with the national team, she earned her second national title last year, proving her dedication. With the Games just around the corner on July 23, Claudia is already dreaming of the Olympics—and this will be the first time her parents can cheer her on at an international event, making it a historic moment for the whole family.
