Dec. 24 - Veteran French cyclist Jeannie Longo revealed that she hopes to compete in her seventh Olympic Games in Beijing.

 

The 48-year-old former Olympic champion has just signed a new contract with Austrian team Uniqa.

 

"It's true that if I'm going to start training again, it might as well be for two years," Longo told Le Dauphine Libere newspaper. "It's not unrealistic to think about it (competing in Beijing) if I'm in form."

 

But she added: "Now that I'm nearing my 50s things can change enormously3 from one year to the next."

 

Longo, the reigning4 French road race and time-trial champion, has competed in every Olympics since women's cycling was introduced to the programme in 1984.

 

She won the Olympic road race title in 1996 after taking the silver four years earlier in Barcelona.

 

She also won silver in the road time-time in Atlanta and bronze in the same event in Sydney.
