Victoria Pendleton pleased with Olympic preparations

Great Britain's sprint cyclist Victoria Pendleton has insisted that her training leading up to next year's Olympic Games in London are going well.

The 31-year-old has also revealed that the Games is the only event that she is now building towards.

As a result, the 2012 World Championships have been put on the back-burner.

"I'm in a better position than I was in 2008 at this time of year," said Pendleton. "I'm quite positive with the way training's going. I haven't done much speed work so far, that's going to come."

"I want to be in the best shape possible for London and it's quite a big time difference between the two in terms of holding a performance, holding form.

"You can't be too greedy and doing a double peak in a year is quite tough. You have to work towards one major goal."

Pendleton has previously claimed that she will retire from the spot at the end of the Games.
