She's just 22 years old, but is certainly getting lots of press, and she might be the favourite video interview for Colt at Cyclingdirt.org. It looks like she has quite a promising future as a mountain bike racer. She's certainly taken over as the most photographed smile in mountain bike racing from Marie-Helene Premont, which is interesting as she lists Premont as one of her MTB racing heroes, along with other top Canadian riders such as Catharine Pendrel and Chrissy Redden.
This month she's on the cover of Singletrack magazine (UK), no article just a masthead comment on the cover photo Emily Batty - Oh yes
Emily was selected to represent Canada in London (that is our olympic xc team above) so be sure to check her out. I think they've scheduled the womens for the second last day of the Olympics and men's is the last I believe.
Not to mention that this may the first photo evidence of someone wearing Lulu Lemon athletic wear actually being athletic instead of being merely trendy.
Oh gawd! Laughing very much right now...Just got back from Whistler and my first bike park experience. At the same time a Wanderlust convention was happening there, so thousands of women in their lululemon were walking around..
The collarbone was broken good!!! I can't beleive how tough she is. When I cracked my collarbone it wasn't displaced at all, simply cracked and it hurt like hell.
Still connected. Not good but not the worst. Good thing it wasn't worse or she wouldn't have been able to race. Too bad for her though. It looks like she might have done well this olympics.
Maybe she'll add DH'ing to her Trek skillset. Seemed to work for Aaron Gwin as a good background.
