GETTYIMAGES-1190449047
Victoria Pendleton is an Olympic, World, European and ommonwealth cycling champion. Pendleton is famously regarded as one of Great Britain's greatest female athletes. In 2016, the 9-time World Champion became a Laureus Ambassador, and over the past four years she has played a pivotal role in using the power of sport to transform the lives of children and young people.

Victoria is a shining example for aspiring athletes across the country, using her platform to create positive and long-standing change. It came as no surprise that Pendleton was made an official member of the 'European Cycling Union Hall of Fame.'
Since retirement from the track, a deep love for horses and adventure has seen Victoriatake up a number of sports, including horse racing and surfing. It remains clear the competitive spirit that saw her reach the top of world cycling is still present, as she continues to flourish.
