Laura Kenny

Laura Kenny, née Trott, is simply staggering: five Olympic golds and a silver make her one of Britain's greatest ever athletes. At 163 cm she dominated the team pursuit, omnium, scratch and madison through tactical intelligence as much as raw power. What I respect most is that she achieved this in track cycling, a discipline that rarely gets headline glamour, yet she relentlessly stacked world-class results until a damehood felt inevitable. I'm endlessly drawn to the cumulative kind of greatness, the athlete who keeps winning where few are watching. Kenny is a benchmark for British women's sport and richly deserves it.
