Inaugural Olympics for alumna Anna
PATHWAY TO PARIS – National time-trial Champion and alumna Anna Henderson will join the 30-strong cycling squad heading to Paris for this summer’s Olympics.
Alumna Anna graduated in 2022 with a First in Sport & Exercise Science – the same year she won silver in the Time Trial at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. This year, she takes to the start line for Team GB in Paris with seasoned Olympian Lizzie Deignan, Pfeiffer Georgi and Anna Morris as part of the Women’s Road Race squad. Descried as a ‘brilliant cyclist’ by Team GB Chef de Mission Mark England OBE, Anna had a successful Time Trial season – not only being crowned the National Time Trial Champion of 2024, regaining her title, but winning silver at the British Road Race Championships last month, despite having to recover from a crash where she fractured her collarbone in May. A real trooper, and hopefully that grit and determination will continue to drive Anna over the finish line at her first ever Olympics!
