Werloc 3,125 Posted November 21, 2021 #527 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Lithuania Simona Krupeckaitė has announced that she will retire in UCI Champions League event on November 27th in Panevėžys, Lithuania. Simona is a five time Olympian (shared record with Virgilijus Alekna and Daina Gudzinevičiūtė), 2 time World Champion, 3 time European Champion, she still holds two World Records and she has countless silver and bronze medals from all major championships, yet only the olympic medal has eluded her. She is very well known in the cycling-track world and Lithuania probably will never have a cyclist that accomplished as Krupeckaitė was. Sad to see her go, but as people say, don't be sad that it's over, be happy that it happened and she has awarded so many wonderful sport memories from my childhood to adulthood. Will always be one of the greats. mrv86 and heywoodu 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
