The 21-year-old from Milngavie, near Glasgow, returned from the European Championships in France last month with three golds - one in the team pursuit.
"I feel good about training and how I've been performing at races so I hope it's going to pay off," she said.
"Everything I ever do will be to try to win that team pursuit medal."
Having excelled in the Scottish cycling scene, Archibald moved to Manchester in 2013 when she became part of the British Cycling set-up.
She admits to missing home and her old Scotland team-mates but is happy in England's north-west and very pleased to be benefiting from "the fantastic riders here and a bigger well of expertise".
Archibald trains with Laura Trott, Elinor Barker, Joanna Rowsell Shand and Ciara Horne at the city's velodrome and admits it took her a while to get used to the place.
