Emma Finucane on being world champ at 20, racing in G's velodrome, and her Olympic dreams

By Crowd Network

Aged just 20, Emma Finucane turned up to a home Worlds in Glasgow with a dream. She left it in a rainbow jersey, GB's first female track sprint world champion in a decade. Her rise has been meteoric and now she has her sights set on this summer's Olympics. A compatriot of Geraint's, she grew up in Carmarthen and, having discovered cycling, she spent her teenage years travelling to and from the velodrome in Newport - yes, that's right, the Geraint Thomas National Velodrome of Wales. We loved welcoming Emma to the GTCC and we're sure all our GTCC members will love hearing her story. We'll be back next week with another cracker. We've welcomed a new partner to the GTCC!
