File-This Sept. 27, 2019, file photo shows United States' Megan Jastrab celebrating winning the women junior event at the road cycling World Championships in Harrogate, England. The cycling team that the U.S. is taking to the Tokyo Olympics is a little bit different than the one it would have taken a year ago, when the COVID-19 pandemic forced organizers to postpone the Summer Games by an entire year.
