Commonwealth gold medallist Rochelle Gilmore tells Sam Squiers what it was like growing up with ultimate freedom to do as she pleased (2.42), and how that helped shape the athlete she became.
The champion cyclist discusses getting scouted in her early teens (9:40) and moving to Europe when she was just 16, and opens up about the death of her great friend Amy Gillett (17.33).
She talks about breaking the ‘Bridesmaid’ hoodoo and finally getting her hands on gold (23:20), as well as the pioneering work she’s done for women’s cycling.
Finally, she goes into incredible detail about planning to climb Mount Everest, and the dangers she’s already faced (43:30).
