Neah Evans: The Quest for Olympic Gold in Paris
Neah Evans, the Team GB cyclist, is setting her sights on Olympic gold at the upcoming Paris Games this summer. After claiming silver in the team pursuit at the Covid-affected Tokyo Games three years ago, Evans is determined to go one step further and reach the top of the podium.
Reflecting on her silver medal in Tokyo, Evans admits to feeling a sense of disappointment, knowing that there was someone standing on the step higher. Despite the accolades of winning an Olympic silver, Evans is driven by the desire for more success and is aiming for nothing less than gold in Paris.
As a multiple world and European Championship gold medalist, Evans is no stranger to winning at the highest level. With the added pressure of being a world champion, she understands the expectations that come with wearing the rainbow bands and the target it puts on her back in competition.
At 33 years old, Evans may be one of the older members of the Team GB cycling squad, but she is not letting age limit her ambitions. Having only taken up cycling full-time seven years ago, she believes she still has more to give and is not putting any limits on what she can achieve.
With “absolutely zero plans to retire,” Evans is fully committed to pursuing her cycling career and reaching new heights in the sport. As she prepares for the Paris Olympics, she remains focused on her goal of winning gold and continuing to push herself to new levels of success.
