Ciara Oliva returns to British Cycling, eyes Olympic bid

Ciara Oliva, a former European champion, has rejoined the British Cycling program to pursue an Olympic dream after nearly a decade away from competitive cycling. The 37-year-old, who missed the 2016 Rio Games, won a bronze medal in the women’s team pursuit at the recent Commonwealth Games. Now a mother of three, Oliva balances training with family life, aiming for selection in the upcoming Los Angeles Games. She acknowledges the challenges but feels motivated by her children’s support and her recent success in international competition.
