Cycling stunner: Australian champ set to race for Russia
Gutted by being left out of Australia's track cycling team for the Rio Olympics, Shane Perkins has moved to switch sporting nations and compete for Russia at the 2020 Tokyo Games. The 30-year-old who won a world title for Australia five years ago and gold at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, has already been photographed in Russian team kit and posted the image on his Facebook page.
