Sally Ann Hodge-McKenzie (born 31 May 1966) [1] is a Welsh former track cyclist from Cardiff, Wales.
She was the first ever women's points race world champion at the 1988 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Ghent, Belgium.

[2] She won the bronze medal at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
In addition to her international success she was a 13 times British track champion, winning the British National Individual Sprint Championships in 1983 and 1985, [3] [4] the British National Points Championships in 1987, 1988, 1991, 1992, 1993 & 1994, the British National Individual Pursuit Championships in 1987 and 1988 and the British National Individual Time Trial Championships in 1985, 1987 and 1988.

Leontien Martha Henrica Petronella Zijlaard-van Moorsel is a Dutch retired racing cyclist. She was a dominant cyclist in the 1990s and early 2000s, winning four gold medals at the Olympic Games and holding the hour record for women from 2003 until 2015.
Jeannie Longo is a French racing cyclist, 6-time French champion and 13-time world champion. Longo began racing in 1975 and was active in cycling through 2012. She was once widely considered the best female cyclist of all time, although that reputation is now clouded by suspicion of doping throughout her career. She is famous for her competitive nature and her longevity in the sport – when she was selected to compete for France in the 2008 Olympics, it was her seventh Olympic Games; some of Longo's competitors that year had not yet been born when she took part in her first Olympics in 1984. She had stated that 2008 would be her final participation in the Olympics. In the Women's road race, she finished 24th, 33 seconds behind winner Nicole Cooke, who was one year old when Longo first rode in the Olympics. At the same Olympics, she finished 4th in the road time trial, just two seconds shy of securing a bronze medal. She is currently number two on the all-time list of French female summer or winter Olympic medal winners, with a total of four medals including one in gold, which is one less than the total number won by the fencer Laura Flessel-Colovic.
