Mountain Bike - Australian Tokyo Olympics preview

Australia's husband and wife mountain bike team Daniel and Rebecca McConnell say they are ready to attack a challenging course in Izu as they chase the nation's first Olympic medal in the discipline.

The cross-country course is 4.1km long with elevation of 150m which the men will tackle on Monday and women on Tuesday.

"It's probably one of the most difficult mountain bike courses we've seen," Rebecca said.

"At this level everybody is very technically savvy and capable, and the weather will play a huge part whether it's raining or dry, but everyone is here and ready to take on whatever will be."

Rebecca, 29, has won consecutive bronze medals at the past two world championships but isn't putting any pressure on herself at the Games.
