Interesting Fact: Megan Heinicke always travels with one of her three-year-old son’s T-shirts. She brings her own kettle and tea on the road with her and collects matchboxes from all over the world.

Chances: Having never cracked the top 20 in an international senior individual event, Heinicke is not a likely medal recipient. She will be part of the relay team, which has a better chance of medalling.
