This Olympic Couple Has 10 Gold Medals, Basically Redefining ‘Relationship Goals’

But four time gold medalist Trott didn’t shy away when ITV News’ Alastair Stewart suggested her fiancé call their first child Keirin, the name of the cycling event Kenny won his third gold medal of the Rio Games in last night.

The New Zealand-based sister of Great Britain’s most successful female Olympian Laura Trott has been stunned by the backlash about her perceived lack of enthusiasm during an interview with British media, describing it as “a lot of fuss made of nothing”. Although they won only six this time – one less than the previous two Games – Britain only had entrants in nine of the 10 events, as the women’s sprint team didn’t qualify.

Trott said it was impossible to know whether she would be able to defend her titles in four years time at Tokyo 2020 as the cycling programme changes at each games.

Biles once again showed the world why she is the central star of her sport, as she collected her fourth gold medal at her first Olympic Games.

Trott admitted: “I was a nervous wreck before the race anyway – it’s always much harder watching somebody else than it is to do it yourself”. Collectively, Great Britain’s track cyclists have amassed 11 medals over the past week-with every member of the team winning at least one.

The two went public with their relationship in the buildup to London 2012, when they were spotted kissing behind David Beckham at the beach volleyball match on Horse Guards Parade. And Kenny equalled the British record haul of Sir Chris Hoy after winning his sixth Olympic gold in a tense keirin final that had to be restarted twice, causing havoc to the BBC’s programming schedule. “She just wants to win”.

Trott, 24, and Kenny, 28, are both track cyclists.

Team GB now has 50 medals including 19 golds, nine behind the United States and two ahead of China.

Overall, BBC1’s Olympics coverage averaged 8.58m between 7pm and 11:25pm, a share of more than 44% of the total available viewing. She added, however: “They have to keep their eyes open that there are other nations here”.

“I offered our footage, not really knowing how it looked”. Father David said she had an injury in 2014 and a cancer scare in 2014, “so it’s an unbelievable achievement”.

“I was working, so I’m self-employed, so if I don’t work then I don’t make no money” she said.

Marchant’s family said they were “completely stunned” by her medal just three years after she took up cycling seriously.
