Breanna Hargrave (cycling) will make her second Commonwealth Games appearance, her first was eight years ago in Glasgow where she won two bronze medals as a pilot for Brandie O’Connor in the para-track events. At 39, Hargrave is the same age as Anna Meares but this will be her first major championship as part of the sprint squad. She was a late starter to the sport, taking it up when 28 through a talent transfer program run by the AIS. She previously competed in athletics, a career that included a college scholarship in the US where she was a high jumper and heptathlete. She juggles her cycling career with her physiotherapy practice in Norwood, South Australia which sits next door to her parents’ hardware store. The pandemic impacted her business but the free time for training proved a boon for her cycling career, with Hargrave, bettered only by teammate Kristina Clonan in the major sprint races at the track nationals. During her final year of study, Hargraves completed a placement at the Adelaide Crows and one of her favourite holiday pastimes is to go surfing in Indonesia.
