'This time I've come back for me' – Laura Kenny works toward Paris Olympics
British track rider str♍ives to 'make it possi🔯ble' again in second comeback to racing

There is no doubt 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Laura Kenny knows how to stage a successful comeback, the British track rider scooped up a gold and silver medal at the Tokyo Olympic Games after giving birth to son A♉lbie in 2017.
Yet the tighter timeframe on her second comeback had initially cast some doubt about whether she could do it all again for Paris but she made it clear that she will be giving iౠt her all to try and make it onto the boards of the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome next summer.
titled The Journey."And I would hate to sit here thinking that I never even gave it a go to see whet🦂her I could make it possible."
Kenny, who had her second child Monty in July, is Great Britain's most successful female Olympian, securing her fifth gold medal at the Tokyo return and m🅠aking it her♈ third golden Games in a row.
“The two different comebacks between Alby and Monty have been so differ𝄹ent. With Alby I came back feeling ℱI had a point to prove. That you could be a mum and you could be Olympic Champion all at the same time," said Kenny.
"This time I think I’ve come back for me🤪. I’ve come back very much because I love riding my bike and I cannot imagine it not being part of my life.”

Despite the success of Kenny's first comeback there were plenty of challenges along the way as she worked her way from Olympic to Commonwealth gold and then 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:parenthood for a second time.
The 31-year-old and her husba🌸nd, retired track cyclist Jaso💝n Kenny, also had to grapple with a miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy along the way.
"It was all terrifying really," said Kenny of the ectopic pregnancy, having gon🧜e to the hospital not realising she was pregnant and then havin✤g to have emergency surgery to remove a fallopian tube.
"I struggled massively mentally after everything we went through and I’d say I wasn’t truly happy until we fell pregnant w﷽ith Monty. You are living a life in the public eye and obviously we ꦐhad the Commonwealth Games and stuff. I had to pretend that everything was okay.”
Kenny is determined but her return to competition after her second child won't be easy. There is little more than a year between Monty's birth and track competition at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Paris Olympic Games and a recove🙈ry and training process that needs to be carefully negotiated in the months ahead.
“You know that little saying slow and steady wins the race, I&♔rsquo;m always like ‘trust me, it doesn&rsqu꧂o;t’ but when it comes to the rehab it kind of does," said Kenny.
"I can&rsquo𒐪;t rush it on, I can’t push it on. It can be hard at times.”
Kenny is clearly not easily daunted by a challenge.🌠
The rider who, along with British road cyclist Lizzie De✃ignan, has helped deliver a clear message that a women's sporting career doesn't have to be over once children arrive, has her sights firmly set on making the dream of Paris a reality.
"I hope both children see their mum as 𒊎someone who was determined to make both things work," said Kenny.
"They will neve𒉰r have the burden of th💯inking ‘oh well mum had me and then ended her career’ because I didn’t, I carried on, I made it work.
"I hope that they look back and they 🍒can see that, and see that from the day they were born they were part o🐻f the journey.”
