The velodrome is a curious beast. A tilted bowl of Siberian pine, it gleams in the spotlight like an ancient, impossibly smooth relic. It hums with a subtle energy, the barely-heard whine of high-tension spokes and taut, oiled chains. This is a temple of speed, a contained crucible where the very laws of physics seem to bend. And somewhere in the heart of it, there's Yareli Acevedo Mendoza.
