Katie Archibald (born 12 March 1994) is a Scottish racing cyclist from Milngavie, near Glasgow, Scotland, who currently rides on the track for Great Britain and the Scottish Cycling Braveheart.com team.[3] She is a reigning world and European champion (2014) in women's team pursuit as part of the Great Britain team, and the reigning European individual pursuit and elimination race champion.

She will also represent the Madison Boot Out Breast Cancer Cycling Team on the roads from 2014.[4]

Early life and career

Archibald has a sporting background in swimming and took up cycling relatively late, taking it up competitively in 2011 on the grass track and in 2012 on hard track.[2]

After spending 2012-2013 working in the family business (Archers Sleepcentre) as a telesales operator,[5] she was recruited into British Cycling's Olympic Development Academy in November 2013.[3]

Track

Archibald made her Great Britain debut at the 2013 European Track Championships. Alongside Laura Trott, Dani King and Elinor Barker, she won the gold medal and broke the world record twice in the team pursuit.[6][7]

At the 2013–14 Track World Cup first round in Manchester, while riding for the Scottish Braveheart team, Archibald claimed silver in the scratch race and bronze in the points race.[8][9] Recalled to the Great Britain team for the 2013–14 Track World Cup second round in Aguascalientes,[10][11] Archibald was part of the quartet that won gold and broke the world record again in the team pursuit competition.[12][13]

She then became Scotland's first female track cycling world champion, when she was part of the team that won the team pursuit title at the 2014 World Track Championships.[14][15] Archibald won the gold medal in the same event, and another in the individual pursuit, at the 2014 European Track Championships.[16][17] Archibald represented Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, 2014, as she claimed a bronze medal in the points race.[18][19]

At the 2015 European Track Championships, Archibald became a triple European champion, retaining the team pursuit and individual pursuit titles she won in 2014, while adding the elimination race title.[20][21]

Road

Her road cycling team Podium Ambition, formerly Pearl Izumi Sports Tours International, turned professional for the start of the 2015–16 UCI Women's WorldTour. She, along with team-mates Sarah Storey and Joanna Rowsell, were the first riders to be named in the new line-up.[22][23]
