Olympic Champion Laura Kenny Aims for Paris 2024

Despite recent childbirth and health challenges, Britain's most successful female Olympian is determined to continue her career.

  • Laura Kenny, Britain's most successful female Olympian, is aiming to compete in the Paris 2024 Olympics, despite having given birth to her second child in July.
  • Kenny, a five-time Olympic gold medalist, has barely competed in the past two years due to her pregnancies and related health issues.
  • She suffered a miscarriage in November 2021 and an ectopic pregnancy in January 2022, which required surgery.
  • Despite the challenges, Kenny is determined to prove that motherhood is not an end to her career, stating that she hopes her children see her as someone who made both motherhood and a successful career work.
  • Kenny, who also won the scratch race at last year's Commonwealth Games, competed at the London, Rio, and Tokyo Olympics and was a dominant force in the endurance disciplines.
