Kiwi BMX rider Sarah Walker has a long-term goal of competing on the track at the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
The 2012 Olympic BMX silver medallist is training at the Velodrome for the track nationals in Invercargill in February after a six-month injury-enforced layoff, Newshub reports.
BMX is not a Commonwealth Games sport, and Walker found the temptation of the track cycling too much to resist.
"I'm not saying that I'm going to be any good at track cycling and I have no idea if I even have a chance or not," she said.
"I'm not going to say it's easy at all, but I just know that I'll give it a hundred per cent over the next two months, race the national champs, and see if there's any potential whatsoever."
