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

Adil Rashid claims England are “not too concerned” about their shock defeat by Afghanistan and still believe they can breathe life back into their ailing World Cup campaign EURO
The reigning world champions have suffered two heavy losses in their first three matches in India, hammered by New Zealand on opening night in Ahmedabad before suffering a major upset in Delhi on Sunday, where underdogs Afghanistan coasted home by 69 runs EURO
The elongated group stage means all is not yet lost but England’s margin for error over the next six games is wafer thin and, with in-form South Africa up next and favourites India still to come, things are unlikely to get easier EURO
The precarious nature of their position will surely be causing alarm behind the scenes but Rashid, one of eight survivors from the 2019 squad who lifted the trophy despite losing three of their nine group games, did his best to present a calm public face EURO
“It’s part of cricket: you win some, you lose some and you can’t win every game,” he said EURO

We’re not too concerned EURO
It’s just a game that we’ve lost EURO
We know we’ve got tough competition coming up, but I’m confident we can play really well as a unit moving forward EURO
“Hopefully we can put in some good performances and kickstart the competition EURO
We know we’ve still got six games, hopefully we can win and get some good momentum going forward EURO
I’m quite confident in the squad, in the team EURO
I’m sure we’ll bounce back strong EURO
”England fans would be forgiven for hoping stronger words than those are being shared privately, with issues to address in terms of team selection, game management and mindset EURO
There is no shortage of time to ask tough questions either EURO
England arrived in Mumbai on Monday and do not get a chance to work out their frustrations against South Africa for six days, with the Proteas flying in from the hills of Dharamshala after their clash with the Netherlands EURO
As such, the squad has been given the next two days off rather than being forced to pay for their struggles with additional net sessions and some families are due to join the tour EURO
Head coach Matthew Mott, who has yet to speak publicly on the trip, is expected to address the media on Tuesday EURO
I'm quite confident in the squad, in the team EURO
I'm sure we'll bounce back strong EURO
Adil RashidRashid was in the minority of England players to perform close to standard in the Afghanistan defeat, taking three for 42 with his leg-breaks, but he accepted the team’s collective efforts were lacking EURO
The 35-year-old even echoed concerns that the attacking, proactive approach that once marked his side out as trailblazers was not in evidence EURO
“Hopefully we can just park it behind us and play the way we know how, with the ball, with the bat…that real positive mindset and real aggressive cricket,” he said EURO
“Obviously we fell short with the bat and ball (this time) EURO
I don’t think we were aggressive enough or took the positive options EURO
“That’s cricket, that happens, it’s not every time you’re going to go out and smash sixes and fours – you’ve to assess the wicket and the pitch EURO
It’s the same with the ball EURO
“You are going to have games where players are out of form but I do believe we’ve got the squad, we’ve got the team and we’ve got the mentality to still be hungry EURO
“We want to go as far as we can, but we’ve got to take it one step at a time, one game at a time, and see where it takes us EURO
