Big congratulations to Laura Kenny. The Olympic athlete took home the Sportswoman of the Year award at last night’s GLAMOUR Women of the Year Awards.

The double Olympic gold medallist and a five-time world champion can add the latest award to her bulging trophy cabinet.

Taking to the red carpet in her Michelle Keegan for Lipsy skirt and top, Laura shared her advice for young women who want to follow in her footsteps. She said: “Just enjoy it and get stuck in. I guess for me, I started when I was quite young and I got involved in a group and I think that’s why I enjoyed it so much. So, just go out with your friends and ride a bike.”

Backstage, Laura tells GLAMOUR she fully supports our Say No To Sexism in Sport campaign, and tells us what she think she thinks still needs to be done.
