Career
edit
In January 2018, Holl became Scotland's youngest national champion, at the British Track Cycling Championships.[6] In June 2019, at the European Games in Minsk, Holl won a silver medal in the team pursuit event.[7][8]
Holl became a para-cycling sighted pilot for Sophie Unwin in March 2021 after coming to the end of her time with the Great Britain Senior Academy.[1]
Just four months after first partnering with Unwin, the pair were selected as members of the ParalympicsGB cycling squad for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.[9] Holl won the bronze medal in the individual pursuit on the track at the 2020 Summer Paralympics alongside Unwin, before taking silver in the road race B.[10]
At the 2024 British Cycling National Track Championships, she won both the Scratch and Points national titles.[11][12]
On 22 July 2024 it was announced that Holl had been selected for the British team ahead of the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris, her second Games, as a pilot for Sophie Unwin.[13] Together they competed in both road and track cycling disciplines, and medalled in all four of their events. The first of these medals, a bronze, came on 30 August in the women's 1000 m time trial B. A second medal, the duo's first Paralympic gold, came two days later in the women's 3000 m pursuit B. In the road time trial B on 4 September they claimed silver, beating fellow British pairing Lora Fachie and Corrine Hall, who won bronze. Holl and Unwin won a second gold medal of the Games in the women's road race B on 6 September.[14]
