Racing career
Cheatley made her official worldwide debut at the 2007 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, where she took home the bronze medal in the women's points race, and eventually added the individual pursuit gold to her resume at the New Zealand championships.[2] Strong and impressive results landed her a spot on the United States' Cheerwine Cycling Team, which signified a start of her professional sporting career. [3] While competing for Cheerwine under an exclusive two-year contract, Cheatley managed her team to "defend their jersey" and dominate the Fitchburg Longsjo Classic circuit title in 2008.[4]
Cheatley qualified for the New Zealand squad in two cycling events at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing by receiving one of the nation's two available berths from the UCI World Cup and by finishing third in the points race from the UCI World Championships.[5][6] In the women's road race, held on the second day of the Games, Cheatley posted a time of 3:41:08 to successfully complete a grueling race with a fifty-third place finish, trailing behind U.S. rider and two-time Olympian Christine Thorburn by a small amount of velocity.[7][8] The following week, in the women's points race, Cheatley failed to collect a single point from the 10 scoring laps in a 25-km sprint race, finishing well down the field in seventeenth place.[9][10][11]
