Sir Chris Hoy has claimed that he is targeting one gold medal in this summer's Olympic Games.

Despite Hoy's modest aspirations, he has admitted that a repeat of the three gold medals he won in Beijing is not impossible.

The 36-year-old said: "I would love to repeat my performances at Beijing in London but to be honest, for me I'm just going to go out there and do my best and just hope to win a gold medal.

"If I could win two or three that would be an amazing result but really my aim is to be Olympic champion in London and if I can repeat [what I did] in Beijing, then that's the dream scenario.

"I don't think it's impossible and I think that I would only enter an event if I believed I could win it."

Hoy is currently preparing for the Track Cycling World Championships beginning next week.
