(Bryn Lennon/Getty Images)Kelly Catlin, a member of the U.S. women’s pursuit team that won a silver medal during the 2016 Olympic Games, died Thursday night, ending her focused, driven life at the age of 23. In a recent VeloNews blog post on how she managed three intense pursuits, Kelly Catlin had written that she sometimes felt as if she needed “to time-travel to get everything done. She won bronze in the individual pursuit at the track cycling world championships in 2017 and 2018. Kelly was more than an athlete to us and she will always be part of the USA Cycling family."
