Larisa Chinces is a former multiple national speed skating champion from Romania, and multiple record holder who was forced to give up competing and her Olympic dreams due to serious injury. However, Larisa is a uniquely talented athlete, and has in a few short years displayed this with her transition to cycling and skiing. Taking up road cycling and mountain biking at high amateur level in Romania, Larisa podiums in literally every race that she enters; in 2019 coming second to a former professional rider in the Transgarafasan road cycling race.
