What It Feels Like To Be a Favourite At Your First Olympics | Emma Finucane | Paris 2024

Team GB’s Emma Finucane is on a whirlwind rise through women’s cycling and is heading to Paris with high hopes that she could become the next name in British Cycling royalty.

Just a year ago, this wasn’t even part of the plan. It all changed for the 21-year-old when she won the 2023 World Championships as a newcomer and she’s since had to manage the shift in expectations and attention that comes when you’re no longer an underdog but one of the favourites.

She discusses her rise to the top, how she uses nerves as a performance enhancer, why she doesn’t do mind games and why it’s statistically harder for women to become repeat winners.

With Paris 2024 approaching, she also looks ahead to the biggest summer of her life, sharing her thoughts on what it feels like to take on her first Olympics as one of the big guns, what she’ll do the day before the race to take her mind off things and what to expect where it matters - on the track.
