Ꮮaura Kenny, Britain's greatest ever female Olympian, said she was "relieved" to retire from cycling, adding that she was still keen to be involved in helping the "younger generation".
The five-time Olympic gold medal winner, and seven-time world champion, revealed on Monday morning that she was retiring from cycling, just months away from the Paris Olympics.
"I've just had an absolute blast but now is the time for me to hang that bike up," she said. "I am so, so happy with my career and now I'm sat here knowing it's the right decision. It almost feels like a relief, being able to say it out loud."
