Four-time Olympic champion Laura Kenny "a lot more relaxed" ahead of Tokyo

It is now two years since the 27-year-old became mum to Albie and coming up to 18 months since she returned to racing.

Laura Kenny may call her work-life balance a logistical nightmare these days but the four-time Olympic champion says she is heading into next year's Tokyo Games feeling more relaxed than ever before.

It is now two years since the 27-year-old became mum to Albie and coming up to 18 months since she returned to racing.

That period has been a steep learning curve for Laura and her husband Jason, who will be looking to add to his six Olympic titles next year, but one that has given them a fresh perspective on the challenges in front of them.

"Expectations come from how much success we've had in the past," she said. "In Pruszkow the men's pursuit team did the quickest time they've ever done but it's just that Australia went quicker.

"That's tricky but we've been there before and I'm sure we can get through it again.

"In 2015, that was the first World Championships where we didn't win the women's team pursuit (since before the London Games) and everybody thought, 'What on earth?' but we still went on to win the Olympics so I'm not worried.

"It's not just as though, because the Worlds didn't go to plan you throw it out.

"We've got targets along the way, stepping stones, and if you've bought into the training plan you can still feel pretty confident."
