NEAH EVANS is a double world champion-but the Scot reckons it's only the Olympic stage that can offer global acclaim.

The Team GB track cyclist is gearing up to return to the Paris venue where she won the first of those world championship gold medals in 2022.

Evans, who won silver in the team pursuit in Tokyo three years ago, is the reigning world champion in the madison following success on home soil with team-mate Elinor Barker in Glasgow last August.
