 Taylor Nibb resigned her position on the U.S. cycling team for the road race at the Paris Olympics on Tuesday and will be replaced by Homer's Kristen Faulkner, who already had been picked to compete with the American Pursuit Squad in the velodrome. The decision by Nibb was not entirely surprising. Her specialty is the triathlon, and the two-time defending women's Ironman world champion has long planned to compete in that event at her second consecutive summer games.
