British track cyclist on the rise
The Wales rider has been named in the five-rider endurance squad for the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, eyeing a Commonwealth medal in the team pursuit after a difficult 2024 brain bleed and a challenging 2025 season. He has since refocused, joined Alpecin-Premier Tech, and is targeting a strong performance for Wales on the big stage.
Welsh cyclist Finucane has secured four golds at the Commonwealth Games, becoming the first Welsh woman to achieve this, while the team and Olympic champions added to Wales’ medal haul. The performance adds to a week that saw national pride and record-breaking feats at the Glasgow velodrome.
The Novig advertising campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney, showing her in minimal clothing while posing with sports gear, has prompted widespread criticism from athletes and commentators about the sexualisation of women in sport. The backlash has seen outspoken responses from figures like Amy Hunt, Ariarne Titmus and Gracie Kramer, while Sweeney defends the project and highlights other nude campaigns.
