Dame Laura Rebecca Kenny[3]DBE, OLY (néeTrott; born 24 April 1992) is a former British professional track and road cyclist who specialised in track endurance events, specifically the team pursuit, omnium, scratch race, elimination race and madison disciplines.[4] With six Olympic medals, having won both the team pursuit and the omnium at both the 2012 and 2016 Olympics and madison at the 2020 Olympics, along with a silver medal from the team pursuit at the 2020 Olympics, she is both the most successful female cyclist, and the most successful British female athlete, in Olympic history.[5]
Since first appearing at the European Track Championships in 2010,[6] she has won seven World Championship, 14 European Championship and two Commonwealth Games titles, as part of a total of 34 medals.[citation needed] On the road, Kenny won the British National Road Race Championships in 2014, taking the under-23 title in the same race, but did not road compete again, following the Paris event in 2015.[7]
