Guilford cycling star Lizzi Jordan is dreaming of an individual world title following her glittering performance at the 2023 UCI World Para Cycling Championships.

The 25-year-old, who lost her sight in 2017 after suffering organ failure from food poisoning, earned two medals at the iconic Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in August’s Glasgow showpiece.

Her tally included gold in the mixed team B sprint alongside two-time Paralympic champion Neil Fachie and his pilot Matt Rotherham, leaving the Surrey star fired up for further success.

"It feels a bit strange to call myself world champion," said Jordan, who competed alongside her new pilot Amy Cole.

"Worlds was better than we could have expected. It was mind-blowing with everyone cheering for us as the home country.

"The team gold was such a big privilege because we were partnered with GB men's sprint tandem, who are the best in the world.

"I had high expectations, and we were excited, but it did put the pressure on a bit more because you suddenly think it could be my first win.

"The first time will always be the most special but the competitive person I am, I want to do it again.

"My next aim is that Amy and I become World Champions in one of our individual events.”

Jordan's Championships got off to a blazing start in the women's 1km time trial, the pair cementing their place on the podium with an impressive time of 1:08.429, but they were forced to wait to see the colour of their medal with two tandems still to go.

They ended with bronze following a dramatic final that saw first and third separated by just 0.127 seconds.

"For our first major competition together, it was quite a nice feeling to be able to celebrate when we'd finished.

"Amy's more of a sprinter and I'm endurance based, so I can back us up towards the end and we complement each other well.”

Success in the velodrome was followed by a strong performance on the road, with a fourth-place finish in the time trial and 11th in the road race alongside pilot Corrine Hall.

And with a successful World Championships under her belt, Jordan is now ready for a well-deserved break before gearing up for a busy 2024.

"The road is different because it's very tactical," she added.

"You can't always predict what's going to happen in the ride but it was a good performance.

"For me, it's all about having a rest physically and mentally and then starting to work towards next year where we've got British Nationals and the Para Track World Championships in Rio."
