Georgia Holt grew up riding horses rather than bikes but a trip to a Talent ID day in 2018 changed her sporting career path.
She attended to try out skeleton having been inspired by the exploits of Laura Deas, another ex-eventer, in PyeongChang, but the follow-up email instead came from British Cycling, who invited her to a trial day.
Holt quickly took to life on the track, scooping 200m and 500m golds at the 2019 BUCS Championships and finishing fifth at the National Championships while still a teenager.
Now 22, Holt is preparing for her maiden Commonwealth Games and has recently joined up with the para-programme as a sprint pilot for Lora Fachie, helping her win the 1km time trial at the National Championships earlier this year.
