CYCLING BIO
In the mid-2000s, Wood was widely regarded as one the best in the world on the road. Although a late starter into the sport at age 20, Wood’s success lead her to the Athens 2004 Olympic Games where not only did she play an integral role in securing Sara Carrigan’s gold for Australia, but she finished fourth in the road race and sixth in the time trial. A dual Olympian, Wood was also a dual World Cup Series winner, Commonwealth Games champion, and a five time national champion by the age of 25. “I am very humbled to be included in the CA Hall of Fame,” said Canberra’s Wood who now resides in Spain. “I have been very fortunate to have had the opportunity to participate in cycling at the elite level and my involvement in the cycling community has certainly shaped my life.”
