Katie-George Dunlevy and Eve McCrystal as hungry as ever for medals

The duo get their World Cycling Championship underway on Wednesday.

Katie-George Dunlevy has to admit defeat after struggling to explain just how and why she is still pumping her legs around a track and down roads for Ireland at the age of 41. The explanation isn’t actually buried all that deeply between the lines.

Originally a rower with GB, Dunlevy left the water behind after a number of setbacks and with a sense of unfinished business before the opportunity arose to cycle for her adopted country. She has left nothing of herself behind in her pursuit of success.
