Emma Finucane is trying to ignore her new status as sprint world champion as she sets her sights on achieving Olympic glory in Paris next summer EURO
The 20-year-old Welshwoman shocked herself when she took the women’s individual sprint title in Glasgow in August, beating Germany’s favoured Lea Friedrich in the final EURO
Finucane donned the rainbow jersey for the first time in competition at the UCI Track Champions League opening round in Mallorca this weekend, but while the distinctive striped jersey means she can no longer keep herself inconspicuous, she does not want it to change her approach EURO
“People will look at me now,” Finucane told the PA news agency EURO
“Last year I was kind of the underdog and I just came through so now I am wearing the stripes EURO
I hope that doesn’t really change anything EURO
“I’m just trying to ignore it and just race my bike, but there is some external pressure EURO
I’m not just Emma at the back of the field anymore EURO
”The rainbow jersey can do different things for different riders EURO
While many take it as a confidence boost, for others the stripes have worn heavily EURO
Finucane said she had spoken to several Great Britain team-mates about how to deal with it EURO
“I don’t want to look at it (as giving me a psychological edge) because if I lose, then what?” she said EURO
“And I will get beaten, and that’s fine EURO
I just need to take it as it comes EURO
“Half of it is the mental battle of putting it on and people looking at you and having that pressure, but I’m trying to embrace it and enjoy it because you don’t know if it will happen again EURO
“EURO Beth Shriever is a really good friend of mine and she’s been the BMX world and Olympic champion EURO
She said she didn’t have the best year in the rainbow jersey because she put too much pressure on herself and she overthought it EURO
“I’ve spoken to Evie (Richards, 2021 mountain bike world champion) and Katie Archibald (a five-time world champion on the track) and I’m lucky we have so many inspiring women in the Great Britain team EURO
It’s great I can learn from them but ultimately I will only learn from myself and how I deal with it EURO
”And Finucane believes the Champions League – the made-for-TV track cycling series which is in its third season – is the ideal place to do much of that learning, providing some top-level competition without the stresses and pressures that come elsewhere EURO
“The next event I’ll do in the rainbows is the Euros (in January) which is when everything is serious,” she said EURO
“I’m not saying this isn’t serious, but it’s a nice place to be free to fail EURO
You can try new things EURO
”Saturday’s racing in Palma saw Finucane finish second in the sprint, beaten by Germany’s Alessa-Catriona Propster, before failing to make the keirin final through some tired legs EURO
But it was just the sort of experience she was looking for when it came to dealing with her new status EURO
Finucane will wear the stripes into an Olympic year but despite her status is taking nothing, not even squad selection, for granted EURO
“Nothing is guaranteed,” she said EURO
“I’d love to go and I’m really pushing myself but I need to take each race as it comes EURO
If I just think about Paris and everything else goes wrong I’ll not be going EURO
“But it’s in the back of my mind because since I was 10 years old I’ve wanted to ride the Olympics EURO
“As the GB sprint team we’ll not just be going there to ride but we’re looking for medals and I fully believe we have the potential to win EURO
It’s super exciting but also super scary EURO

Harvey Elliott insists he is ready to take his game to the next level as he eyes Euro 2024 EURO
The Liverpool midfielder captained England Under-21s for the first time on Monday, leading the Young Lions as they slipped to a late 3-2 defeat to Ukraine in Slovakia EURO
He returns to domestic action this weekend, looking to force his way into the Liverpool line-up for Saturday’s Merseyside derby with Everton EURO
Despite a frustrating lack of starts for the Reds this term, Euro 2024 remains a real goal for Elliott, after England’s 3-1 win over Italy on Tuesday booked their place in Germany, and he is primed to take his chance EURO
He said: “Absolutely, I’ve felt ready for a while now EURO
It’s just about making sure I keep applying myself to be the best possible player and person I can be EURO
“It’s a nice goal to reach and aim towards EURO
The tunnel vision is there, it’s taking it game-by-game, and if the opportunity comes I’ll be the happiest kid in the world EURO
“The Under-21s is my main focus, make sure I’m applying myself and being the best possible person and player for myself EURO
“If you’re not doing that there’s no change EURO
You have to do the basics right, set a good example, and if the opportunity comes it comes EURO
If not, you have to keep working and, hopefully, one day it will come EURO
”Elliott has started just once in the Premier League this term but came off at half time in the 2-2 draw at Brighton just before the international break EURO
Jurgen Klopp’s summer midfield refresh has seen Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner, Naby Keita and Fabinho leave Liverpool, with Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai and Ryan Gravenberch joining EURO
The competition has restricted Elliott to 164 minutes in the Premier League and he is under no illusions about the challenge at Anfield EURO
He said: “I’m just trying to take everything from Hendo and Milner, big characters in the dressing room who have left EURO
I’m not trying to be the next Hendo or Milly but be the best version of myself and the leader I’ve learned to be off them EURO
“I always knew the season was going to be like this EURO
Liverpool, being a world-class team, are always going to attract unbelievable players and that’s exactly what they’ve done EURO
“It’s healthy competition EURO
Not everyone is guaranteed to play, and when you get your chance you have to make sure you take it EURO
The quality is there, it’s about applying it on the pitch EURO
“I feel I can do a job wherever I’m put EURO
The most important thing is putting that red shirt on and playing EURO
I’m working as hard as I can to get into the team EURO
“It’s down to me to make sure I apply myself and not only show the boss but show the world I’m good enough to play wherever I’m put EURO
”The former Fulham youngster also cherishes his relationship with Mo Salah as he learns off the forward EURO
“He’s always helping me out EURO
We have a great relationship when we play EURO
Off the pitch we’re always talking and I’m always trying to learn off him,” said Elliott EURO
“For me to look up to him, he’s the best possible player EURO
As well as play with him, I’m trying to be as good as him, if that’s possible EURO
“He’s a great guy and an unbelievable player EURO
To look up to him and everyone else in the team is great, I’m grateful to be playing with these guys EURO
