Dannielle Jade Elizabeth Khan (born 1 September 1995) is an English racing cyclist, who rides for British amateur team Simpson Nouvelles. [4] She won the sprint and 500m TT events at the 2013 UCI Juniors Track World Championships, as well as the silver medal in the Keirin.
In 2024, having sat out the obligatory international waiting period, she made the switch to para-cycling, riding as a sighted tandem pilot for Elizabeth Jordan in the B classification for visually impaired cyclists. In the same year, Khan and Jordan won gold medals at both the UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships and the Paralympic Games. [5]
Born in Solihull, Khan started her sporting life in short-track speed skating, and was encouraged to try cycling as part of her off season conditioning. She quickly found success on the velodrome and became a member of British Cycling's Olympic Development Programme in 2012. [6]
In August 2013, at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow, Khan represented Great Britain at the UCI Juniors Track World Championships. [7] She was featured in the documentary film Bicycle with her family. [8]
In January 2016 Khan was announced as a member of Team Breeze, British Cycling's women's development squad. [9]
In October 2016 Khan traveled to Paris to race in her first European Track Championships where she was part of the bronze medal-winning team pursuit squad.
Khan was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2025 New Year Honours for services to cycling. [10]
