The 21-year-old, from Carmarthen, has been steadily building to this point since becoming British sprint champion in 2022 when she also won two medals at the Commonwealth Games that year.
However it was the British Championships last year in Newport when she signalled the scale of her promise, winning four gold medals.
She then announced herself on the global stage in the summer by becoming the fastest woman in world cycling.
Finucane beat Germany’s Lea Friedrich to become only the third Briton to win sprint gold at the Cycling World Championships in Glasgow, and the first since fellow Welsh rider Becky James’ triumph in 2013.
