Venezuela is prepping its representatives for the upcoming 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro with cyclist Angie González as the latest addition to their roster.

Known to her family as Angie Sabrina González García, the 35-year-old cyclist, hailing from La Victoria, qualified for this year's upcoming Olympics after placing seventh during the International Cyclists Union World Cup in Hong Kong.

González's addition to the Venezuelan team is not unexpected considering her outstanding track record over the past years. She had been participating in individual road races and Women's Omnium events.

In fact, in 2012, she placed 18th at the Women's Omnium held in London, a huge leap from her previous rank as the 57th in the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China, per Sports Reference.

Qualifying Athletes

Based on the latest count by Correo del Orinoco, the South American country already has 46 athletes ready to compete in the Games between August 5 and August 21 in the Brazilian capital.

This includes archer Elias Malave, who placed 8th at the World Archery Championships held in Copenhagen, Denmark as stated by Inside the Games.

As stated by IAFF, two men and six women from Venezuela have also made the cut to participate in Athletics events in the Rio Olympics in August, including the men's 400-meter and 20-kilometer walk as well as women's pole vault, triple jump, shot put, hammer throw and the 20-kilometer walk.

The Venezuelan basketball team also qualifies after they defeated Canada's representative during the FIBA Americas Rio Olympic qualifiers with a close 79-78 point game in September 2015. Kobe Bryant might play for USA Basketball in Brazil.

Other events with qualifying Venezuelan athletes include diving with Jesús Liranzo and Robert Páez, who are participating in the 10-meter platform; equestrian with Andres Rodrigues and Emanuel Andrade holding two spots for individual events; and Carlos Claverie, Cristian Quintero and Andreina Pinto for four swimming events.

Angie González's Event

Road cycling is one of the highly anticipated events during the competition, not only because of the challenges but also because of the spectacle of the course, which showcases the natural beauty of Rio.

See for yourself.

According to the official website for Rio 2016 Olympics, British professional road and track cyclist Sir Bradley Wiggins hold the record for most medals earned in the Olympic event.

The event was first conducted in 1896 during the Athens Olympic Games where riders raced in an 87-kilometer track covering Athens and Marathon.

During this year's Games, track cycling would be held at the Fort Copacabana and Pontal for the road race and time trial events respectively.
