‘It’s a relief’: Laura Kenny retires from golden cycling career to focus on family
After um lots of thought and consideration I have decided I’m going to retire from professional s with Laura Kenny K archal are the Olympic Champions and she’s a champion once again Laura Kenny takes the goal you’d never know uh what you could achieve until you try out and until you
Start it’s mad I can’t believe I’ve done it I really can’t I obviously wanted to try and retain the two titles that I got in l um but how I ever thought I was going to match that I just didn’t quite know um so to come here and do it again is
Honestly incredible we stuck to our plan we didn’t let anyone Sid track us we just had to do what we set out to do I just never thought I’d go to our home games um let alone go on to win two gold medals at home
Games well so pleased with that I was so fired up I kept saying to myself the toil I was like I can do this to cross the line here in London oh I just honestly I couldn’t ask for anything More I had a point to prove they needed to be some sort of role model for people you just never in like your childhood dreams think you’re going to be a Dame or a s we only ride bikes It has been one ride that I would not change yeah I’ve just had an absolute blast but now is the time for me to hang that bike up
