Great Britain Cycling Team: Scottish cycling great Katie Archibald has announced her retirement from the sport, bringing an end to one of Britain’s most successful track careers despite having already been selected for Scotland’s squad for the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

The 32-year-old confirmed she would step away from elite cycling to pursue a new chapter in nursing, admitting the desire to experience life beyond the velodrome had steadily grown stronger in recent years.

Archibald leaves the sport as a multiple Olympic, world and European champion, having established herself as one of the defining figures of British track cycling across the last decade.
