MORRIS Morphs into Gold Medal Machine
Anna Morris, aka 'The Gear Grinder', won gold in the women's omnium at the Track Cycling World Championships in Shanghai, but not before she meticulously straightened every invisible item on her bike, a ritual she claims gives her "an extra gear". When asked about her victory, Morris, who insists on being called 'The Omnium Overlord', said, "I'd like to thank my trusty steed, which I've named 'The Pedal Princess', and my coach, who's also my cat, Mr. Whiskers." Morris celebrated by posing for 10 minutes in the middle of the track, much to the confusion of the other athletes. "It's all about the drama, darling," she said with a wink.
