Wales’ double world champion Emma Finucane will spearhead the Great Britain Cycling Team at the 2025 UCI Track World Championships in Chile (22–26 October).

Wales’ Emma Finucane has revealed her goals for the second round of the UCI Track Champions League have changed. The two-time world champion is in the Netherlands this week to compete for Great Britain and defend her lead in the Women’s Sprint.

Anna Morris has admitted she was in shock after becoming Wales’ latest cycling world champion. Morris, from Cardiff, followed in the bike tracks of Emma Finucane as she rode her way to a first world title in the women’s individual pursuit, knocking out cycling legend Chloe Dygert on the way, on the penultimate day of the 2024 UCI Tissot Track World Championships. It means Wales now has two individual world champions and three members of a world champion team after the penultimate day of the Championships in Denmark.

Emma Finucane has revealed she is even more proud of retaining her sprint world title than she was in winning it for the first time a year ago. The Welsh cycling superstar retained her women’s individual sprint title for her second gold medal of the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Denmark on Friday night.

Wales’ Olympic champion Emma Finucane and her fellow Paris gold medal-winners Sophie Capewell and Katy Marchant stormed to more gold for Great Britain in the women’s team sprint at the Cycling World Championships. The trio defeated the Netherlands with a time of 45.949 in Ballerup, Denmark.

Welsh athletes have returned home, having made a remarkable impression at the Paris 2024 Olympics, achieving their best performance to date. A record 33 Welsh competitors, including 19 Olympic debutants, represented Team GB, bringing home a total of 13 medals—three gold, three silver, and seven bronze.

Emma Finucane has labelled her Paris Olympic achievements as “a dream” after she became the first British woman in 60 years to win three medals at a single Games. Having already joined the small Welsh band of double Olympic medalists with a gold and bronze, Finucane took another bronze in the individual sprint on Sunday.

Emma Finucane will focus her attention on the women’s individual sprint after a bronze medal in the keirin ended her dreams of a golden Olympic hat-trick. The Welsh cyclist – world champion in the one event she has left – still believes she can pick up a second gold medal in Paris at the age of just 21.

With five days left, the Olympic Games is now coming off the final bend – but there is still time for Emma Finucane to become a legend of Welsh sport. The 21-year-old track cyclist has won one gold medal already in the women’s team sprint but still has two further opportunities in the keirin – the weird one, where the riders start by chasing a motorbike – and the individual sprint.

Emma Finucane revealed it was a dream come true for her to win an Olympic gold medal at the age of just 21. The Welsh cycling star – already a world champion – is now an Olympic champion also after she joined with Katy Marchant and Sophie Capewell to win gold for Great Britain in the women’s team sprint at Paris 2024.

Emma Finucane wants to take confidence from the expectations that have built up around her Olympics debut, but is determined not to be fazed by them. The 21-year-old Welsh world champion is still a relative newbie, but will start her competition in Paris on Monday with a target on her back after becoming the individual sprint world champion in Glasgow last year, then doubling up as European champion in January at the start of the year.

Faster. Higher. Stronger. The Olympic motto used to be unchanging and did its job well enough from its introduction back in 1894. That was until 2021 when the organisers/modernisers/do-gooders/diversity officers/woke police (insert depending on political outlook) decided on an upgrade.
