Gay Games VIII profile: cyclist Margaret Douglass

A profile from Q-Salt Lake:

In the past seven Gay Games, one Utah athlete has acquired more medals that any other participant from the state. Cyclist Margaret Douglass, 51, has brought home seven medals from the 1994 Gay Games in New York and the 2002 Games in Sydney.

And now, Douglas is attending Gay Games VIII, which will be held from July 31–Aug.7 in Cologne, Germany where she hopes to add to her collection of five gold and two silver medals, earned in two events.
“In Germany I am only competing in the criterium and the road race, for several reasons,” said Douglass. “One, I’ve done two Gay Games already and I really don’t want to focus on just the bike racing this time. I want to race my best races, be done, go explore Germany, vacation and party,” said Douglass. “Second, I had a bad crash early this season and some other health issues that had kept me from training to my standards. Third, I’ve been racing forever and I am getting tired, I am not as serious this year. And forth, I will be racing on a borrowed bike.”
