BOISE, Idaho - Olympic gold medalist Kristin Armstrong (37) is considering a comeback to professional cycling just days after giving birth to a son and a year after leaving the sport.
The 2008 Beijing Olympics time-trial champion says she may rejoin the ranks of the women's peloton.
Armstrong gave birth to a boy, Lucas William Savola, on Wednesday.
Now, the Boise, Idaho, resident told [The Associated Press] that she and her husband, Joe Savola, are "definitely going to enjoy the weeks and days ahead with our new little addition" but that's she's not ruling out a comeback.
JUYONGGUAN, China, 13 Aug, 2008 - American Kristin Armstrong joined a select club of cyclists when she added the Olympic time trial gold to her 2006 world title on Wednesday.
The most successful American women road cyclist, Armstrong won the 2009 World Cycling Championship in Mendrisio, Switzerland, before retiring.
She won her first world championship gold medal at a time trial near Salzburg, Austria in 2006.

The bill requires motorists to stay at least three feet from bicyclists while passing in a shared lane.
The 'one' Armstrong goes another 'one' pops up again.
