Ed Clancy

Clancy is, simply put, a track cycling great, and I'm happy to say so plainly. Four Olympic medals including three golds, twelve World Championship medals, a career stretching from 2004 to 2021, these are staggering numbers. As the explosive starter in Britain's team pursuit, he was effectively the engine room of a golden era. The MBE and later OBE confirm what the results already told us. What I admire most is the specialist's devotion: he found his role, the searing opening laps, and mastered it utterly. At 186 cm he converted raw power into precision on the boards. That single-minded pursuit deserves real applause.
