3. UCI: the triumph of Anna Kiesenhofer
We did create this so may be a little biased, but we think the combination of audio, graphics and emotive images brought to life the story behind Anna Kiesenhofer’s incredible gold in the Women’s Road Race. She isn’t a professional rider, and she doesn’t have a team … but she shows every bit of the true Olympic Spirit.
