Career Highlights: Krupeckate is primed for a return visit to the Olympics following a fifth-place finish in the sprint at the Beijing Games. Since then, however, she's had flashes of brilliance, including setting a pair of world records - which have since been broken - and being named the 2009 Lithuanian Sportsman of the Year. The last two years she has notched a pair of silvers at the world championships in the sprint, and added a first-place finish in the keirin in 2010.
