Track titan Katie Archibald calls time on glittering 13-year cycling career

British track cyclist Katie Archibald has announced her retirement after a 13-year career, stepping away as a current world and European champion and a member of the women's team pursuit world record-holding squad. Archibald joined the Great Britain Cycling Team's women's track endurance squad in 2013 at age 19, having initially taken up cycling for social reasons before her talent was recognised. During her career she competed alongside notable riders including Dame Laura Kenny, Dani Rowe MBE, and Elinor Barker MBE, winning the European team pursuit title on her senior debut.
