UPDATED OLYMPIC NEWS: The British Olympic Association (BOA) has named the final cyclists that will make up the 30-strong squad to represent Team GB at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The 12 athletes announced include seven Olympic medallists and five debutants from the BMX racing, BMX freestyle park, track and road disciplines, with parity in the number of male and female riders representing Team GB across the full squad.

Lizzie Deignan will take to the start line for an impressive fourth Olympic Games in the women’s road race, heading up a team which also features three-time National Champion Pfeiffer Georgi, National time-trial Champion Anna Henderson, and Anna Morris.

Over on the track, Elinor Barker will represent Team GB in the endurance events at her third Games, while Neah Evans and Josie Knight will both return to the Games for a second time in the Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines Velodrome. Debutants Anna Morris and Jess Roberts will join the experienced team as they look to better their team pursuit silver medal from Tokyo.

World Champion Kieran Reilly will take his trademark flair and awe-inspiring tricks to the park in Paris, having secured his individual spot to the Games through two third place performances in the new Olympic Qualifying Series (OQS).

Joining him in Paris will be reigning Olympic Champion Charlotte Worthington, who won gold in Tokyo with a groundbreaking performance which saw her become the first woman ever to land a 360 backflip.

BMX racing Olympic Champion Beth Shriever will defend the women’s title having recovered from a recent collarbone injury. Since her Olympic debut in Tokyo, Shriever has become a double World Champion, and will head to Paris looking to add more silverware to her collection. Olympic silver medallist Kye Whyte will represent Team GB in the men’s event, having also recovered from a recent injury sustained at the 2024 World Championship.
