Archibald targets LA 2028 to be best track cyclist
The Straits Times
|October 19, 2025
In the high-octane world of track cycling, Katie Archibald has reached the age at which riders usually consider hanging up their race helmets, but the 31-year-old Scot is already mapping out her path to glory in Los Angeles in 2028.
-
In the week that fellow Scot Jack Carlin called time on his track cycling career, aged 28, Archibald was preparing to fly off to Chile as part of the British squad for the track cycling world championships in Santiago starting on Oct 22.
Archibald missed the Paris Olympics after falling in her garden and breaking two bones in her leg and tearing ligaments weeks before.
That deprived her of the chance to add a third Olympic gold medal to the team pursuit and Madison titles she earned at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. She returned this time in 2024 to win her sixth world title in Denmark, in the team pursuit, and is now fixated on the path to the LA Games, beginning in Santiago.
