At Track Cycling World Championships 2016,



India's 20 yrs old young cycling sensation Deborah Herold created history by qualifying for the 2016 Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Track Cycling World Championships for the first time in India's history ... In December, Deborah had become the first Indian female cyclist to reach the heights of fourth place in the UCI individual world ranking.

Criteria for qualification at the Track Cycling World Championships is based on a cyclist's points tally at UCI organised events ... In October, she clinched five medals at the Taiwan Cup Track International Classic - a record gold in the women's elite sprint category - including a gold, three silver and a bronze ... Then in December she won three medals at the 2015 Track Asia Cup held in New Delhi, thus helping India's cycling contingent finish third with 11 medals.

Deborah's story is one of inspiration, for when the devastating 2004 tsunami hit Port Blair, a nine-year-old Deborah had to spend over a week stuck in a tree until help arrived.
