Shortlisted for the Cross Sports Award Cycling Book of the Year 10
gold medals don't come easy... First comes the graft. Thousands of
hours on the pedals, forever turning left, following that black
line round, pushing your body harder than it is designed to go.
Then comes the sacrifice. All familiar pleasures stripped away in
search of perfection. Then the pain. Muscles burning, stomach
churning, an ache in the bones. To pull all of this together to
achieve an Olympic gold is impressive; to be part of a couple doing
this in the same sport is rare; to do it ten times between you is
unprecedented. Laura Trott and Jason Kenny, Britain's most
successful female and male Olympians, invite us into their world,
on to the boards of the velodrome and down the back straight of
British pro cycling to give us the inside track on what it takes to
become a champion. This is the story of the races that gripped a
nation; one of sprints and pursuits, tactics, mind games, medals
and trials; of being so tired you collapse by the side of the
track, so out of form you can't finish a practice session; of what
goes through the mind of an Olympian as they power towards the
finish line; and of how a boy from Bolton and a girl from Cheshunt
became the best in the world, while finding in each other the
perfect partner.
