Cycling legend Anna Meares' powerful message as she bows out of the Olympics.

Australian cyclist and flag bearer Anna Meares has missed out on a place in the women’s sprint at Rio, finishing 10th.

It was an emotional end to the veteran’s fourth games, with hopes high after Meares won gold in the same event at London.

 

“Thank you. I’m a big girl now but I once was a little girl who just had a dream and I’ve lived that dream for 22 years,” she said.

Thank you, Anna, you legend.
