General
FOCUS FOR TOKYO
She decided to focus on the individual time trial and track cycling ahead of the 2020 Olympic Games. She may switch to road races in the future. "I would love to race in Europe, but my goals are the time trial and doing track events. So as of now, I'm really focusing on those specifically. We'll just have to see after Tokyo what I want to do the next year." (kitsapsun.com, 13 Dec 2019; cyclingweekly.com, 24 Sep 2019)

FORMER TEAMMATE
She competed in track cycling with Kelly Catlin, who took her own life in March 2019. Dygert Owen says the US team deal with their loss and honour her through talking about it. "That was one thing we wanted to make clear, we're going to talk about Kelly. If something's funny and it reminds us of Kelly, we're going to bring it up. She's not going to be forgotten. That's the easiest way for us to deal with it is to act like she's still there. Of course there are moments where it's sad. We can't change it. We might as well make it as best as we can." (teamusa.org, 19 Sep 2019)
