Sports Illustrated: Phinney gives pursuit a whirl

Austin Murphy of Sport Illustrated reports on Taylor Phinney’s Olympic bid and his fast rise as a cycling talent.

From the article: “A year ago, the kid didn’t know the individual pursuit from Trivial Pursuit. But Connie explained it to him — she’s a former world champion in the discipline — and he decided to give it a whirl. He won the U.S. national championship. In his first race. His fourth race was a World Cup event in Carson, Calif. He won. He qualified for the Olympics, then set a junior world record in the 3,000-meter pursuit.”
