Henderson will have a chance of being Britain's first medallist at these summer Games when she makes her Olympic debut in the women's time trial on the streets of Paris today, but before taking to two wheels the 25-year-old was Britain's junior national slalom champion.
"When I was really young I think (a winter Olympics) was the original childhood dream," said Henderson.
"Slowly I realised I wasn't that good, I was at a good level as a junior by British standards but not compared to the other countries that have snow.
"Coming into cycling I knew I was physically good and I really wanted to be the best that I could become, so it's really special to be at a summer Olympics - any Olympics, regardless of the season!"
