Cycling World Cup,  London - What a difference a week makes!
 
During the week of selection Dani was dogged with a viral infection that limited her training and threatened to derail her progress for both the London World Cup and Olympic Games. Thankfully though she was ready when called up to replace Wendy Houvenhagel for the ride off for the Gold medal last weekend.
 
After the race Dani said "It was amazing. When we crossed the line I looked up and not only had we won Gold medal but we'd also broken the world record, it was fantastic".
 
Dani's currently in Majorca training for her next compitition which are the track world championships in Australia in April.

Interview with Dani King March 2012 

2011

An amazing year for Dani, highlights included riding in the Womens Pursuit Team that won gold at the World Championships in Holland in March, followed by a Gold at the European Championships in October, where the team also clocked up the fastest time in the world.

Dani King - A potted history 2005 to date

Danielle King is a 16 year old student at Hamble Sports College who has been chosen for the Olympic Development cycling squad and is fast making an impact in the sport having only started cycling in 2005.  She was previously a County swimming champion and was encouraged to change sport when her natural cycling ability was identified.

Dani has her sights set on the 2012 London Olympics and is very clear on her ambitions. “I want to be a World Champion and Olympic Gold medallist” and her training programme is already almost full-time.

With the help of Peter Hargroves Cycles, Elliotts have just given her a new training bike that mirrors the geometry of her track racing bike so it feels the same when she is both training and riding road events.  ‘ I just can’t wait to ride it’ said Dani as she was clearly delighted to receive it. Elliotts have also agreed to help fund her travel and accommodation costs which are growing with events most weekends in Newport, Manchester or abroad.

She is thrilled to have been selected to represent Great Britain in the junior European Track Championships in Germany in July where she will ride match sprint, 500m time trial and Kieran events. ‘ Dani has made excellent progress in only 9 months since joining the Olympic Development Sprint Team and she is now competing at a high level and thoroughly deserves her position in the team’ said Iain Dyer, Head Coach of the British Cycling Sprint Squad.

Go Dani….!
