Laura Brown (cyclist)

She also won the points race at the Manchester round of the 2013–14 UCI Track Cycling World Cup.

Brown took up cycling in 2002 after giving up competing in gymnastics due to an ongoing back injury.

[2] In October 2014 the UnitedHealthcare Women's Team announced that Brown would be part of their squad for the 2015 season.

But after a back injury as a teenager, she switched sports and started cycling at the Olympic Oval in Calgary.

While there, she watched Canada's top speed skaters (including Clara Hughes, Catriona Le May Doan and Cindy Klassen) train before heading off to win multiple medals at Salt Lake City 2002.
