This plastic athlete’s pass used by American track cycling World Champion Sarah Hammer (b. 1983) is from the UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classic event that took place in Cali Colombia from December 16th to the 18th, 2010.

Sarah Hammer is a five-time World Champion (2006, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2013) and as of 2013, is a world record holder in a track cycling event called the individual pursuit.
