Listen Later

This episode is brought to you by the Insta360 X5 action camera


This week, Will and Robyn are joined by Welsh track cycling star, Emma Finucane. At just 21 years old, Emma was the first British woman to take three medals in a single Games - including team sprint gold - since track and field athlete Mary Rand in 1964.


In winning that gold at Paris 2024, her and teammates Sophie Capewell and Katy Marchant broke the world record not once but an astonishing three times, cementing Emma as the fastest woman in the world.


In this episode, Emma discusses feeling like an imposter despite being champion, body image in cycling, managing her emotions around winning and losing, and why crying before races has become one the secrets of her success. Plus Emma and Robyn get into a bit of Formula 1 chat, because why not - it's all going fast, isn't it.


Interview begins at 7.40
