Track and road star has the momentum and the confidence to go one better than Tokyo as he targets a place on Team GB.

Fin Graham has been on the fast track to success ever since his mum kicked off at a PE teacher for offering him a head start on school sports day. The Scots cyclist was born with two club feet and has no calf muscle on his right leg meaning he has to wear a splint.

“They have always encouraged me to try stuff. There was a point in primary school where my PE teacher wanted to give me a head start in a running race. "It’s six world titles and 13 medals in total now. It’s been a good couple of years. So I’m hoping to continue that and turn the silvers into golds in Paris. That would be the pinnacle.”

“Going to Tokyo my pb for the pursuit was 3.31 - not where it needed to be to win medals. We went to holding camp in Newport and did a pursuit to see where I was - and I broke the world record at the time beating my pb by five seconds.
