Aussie-American BMX power couple share goal _ Olympic gold

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — He's reserved, she's outgoing. He's from Australia, she's from Minnesota.

Sam Willoughby and Alise Post are also two of the best BMX racers in the world. Before they get married next year, they'd like to win medals at the Rio de Janeiro Games.

After all, something golden to wear at the wedding would look nice.

"We've done it for a lot of years now. We're pretty good at it," Post said. "We're also each other's biggest supporters ... because who better understands it than the person who has been there."

They've each had plenty of big-race experience.
