What makes Kenny and Trott such extraordinary athletes, is that Rio is unlikely to be the end of their Olympic journey. The couple plan on getting married soon, reports Daily Mail.
Kenny has been in fine form, winning his fourth Olympic gold in the team sprint event. He is also a favourite to add yet another medal in the individual sprint. By the end of the Games, Kenny could be alongside Sir Chris Hoy with the same tally of six golds and a silver. Greatness is destined for Kenny’s fiancée Trott too. She is already on course for gold medal number three, with a fourth expected soon. She is regarded as one of the finest track riders the world of cycling has ever seen.

But Trott, who is just 24, is so good on her bike that it will be a task not to see her dominate in her track events to come. During the London championships in March, Trott was so impressive that after her victory there she took her total number of titles to seven in a career that now boasts 23 major titles in all.
However, in this Olympics she is limited to just two events, putting her at a slight disadvantage compared to her fiancé.
Incidentally, Trott was born a month prematurely with a collapsed lung and was later diagnosed with asthma. She was recommended by doctors to take up sport in order to regulate her breathing.
Trott first began cycling when her mother Glenda decided to take up the sport to lose weight. Trott and her sister Emma joined their mother which was when she first became serious about the sport.
