Archibald targets Rio gold

The 21-year-old came home with three gold medals from Grenchen with individual pursuit and elimination race titles to add to the team pursuit.

Britain are the reigning Olympic team pursuit champions and Archibald helped the team claim the world crown in 2014.

But 2015's World Championships were a different story as Australia ousted GB to claim the top step on the podium.

However, Archibald is determined to help Britain retain their Olympic crown and says the strength in depth the country has is the perfect motivation.

"I feel good about training and how I've been performing at races so I hope it's going to pay off," she told the BBC.

"Everything I ever do will be to try to win that team pursuit medal.

"We basically live in each other's pockets yet are still meant to be able to give relevant criticisms.

"You'd think that would be quite tricky but we get on ridiculously well.

"There are five of us and there are usually four spots, which seems like a recipe for disaster, but I think it just pushes you on.

"The ultimate target is against every other nation in the world, not against each other, so we're kind of held together by that."
