LAURA KENNY: TRACK AND ROAD CYCLIST

Laura Kenny (nee Trott) is the most successful female track cyclist in Olympic history, and Team GB’s most successful female competitor in any sport. She took gold in both the team pursuit and omnium events at both the 2012 and 2016 games, with her team setting a world record time in the 2012 race.

Kenny was awarded an OBE for services to cycling back in 2013 and both her and her cyclist husband, Jason Kenny, have a CBE for the same reason. What he doesn’t have, however, is a leisure centre named after him in Cheshunt, the launch of which Kenny attended ahead of competing in the fourth stage of The Women’s Tour, a stage race around the UK.

Oh, and she’s still only 29.
