Anna Morris wins gold in individual pursuit at UCI Track World Championships three years after leaving medical career

Anna Morris, a former trainee doctor, won gold in individual pursuit at the UCI Track World Championships in Denmark earlier this month. This victory comes just three years after she left her medical career to pursue cycling full-time. Before her cycling success, Morris was working in a hospital in Gloucestershire and competing at the amateur level. Inspired by the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, she decided to focus on cycling, which led to her selection for the 2022 Commonwealth Games. Morris's transition to full-time cycling allowed her to excel, medaling in all three endurance events at the 2022 British nationals. Her achievements highlight her rapid rise in the sport.
