London 2012 Olympics: Anna Meares leads inexperienced Australian track cycling team for Games Meares, 28, isn't concerned about the relative youth of the team. Olympic selection "is something that I've been working towards for four years," she said. It was a very emotional moment, especially for my teammates who are heading to their first Olympic Games. I don't think of that as a weight on my shoulders, I quite like holding that place in the team. Meares is keen not to inflame her strong rivalry with Britain's reigning Olympic sprint champion Victoria Pendleton. "I'm not going out saying anything personal against Vicky and Great Britain," Meares said. We're both competing for that Olympic gold medal and unfortunately only one of us gets it. Team pursuit rider Alexander Edmondson is the youngest member of the squad at 18. His sister Annette, 20, was selected for the women's team pursuit and omnium, making them the first brother-sister combination to represent Australia in cycling at the Olympics. Australian team: Endurance riders: Jack Bobridge, Amy Cure, Rohan Dennis, Alex Edmondson, Annette Edmondson, Michael Hepburn, Melissa Hoskins, Glenn O'Shea, Josephine Tomic. Sprinters: Kaarle McCulloch, Anna Meares, Matthew Glaetzer, Shane Perkins, Scott Sunderland.
