Britain’s greatest female Olympian is joining the Guardian as a columnist for Paris 2024. She talks candidly about her career, her miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy and why she’s always been prepared to speak out
“I’m going to say it as I see it, just like I normally do,” Laura Kenny stresses as the most successful female competitor in British Olympic history prepares to start working on “the dark side” in the media. “People want to know what I think and what I would have done or what they should’ve done. I think being honest is the best way.”
From London 2012 to the Tokyo Games in 2021, Kenny won six Olympic medals, five of them gold, as a track cyclist who was bold and brave, exhilarating and gritty. She will travel next week to the Paris Olympics and work for the BBC as a pundit while writing a column for the Guardian.
