Emma Finucane is trying to ignore her new status as sprint world champion as she sets her sights on achieving Olympic glory in Paris next summer EURO
The 20-year-old Welshwoman shocked herself when she took the women’s individual sprint title in Glasgow in August, beating Germany’s favoured Lea Friedrich in the final EURO
Finucane donned the rainbow jersey for the first time in competition at the UCI Track Champions League opening round in Mallorca this weekend, but while the distinctive striped jersey means she can no longer keep herself inconspicuous, she does not want it to change her approach EURO
“People will look at me now,” Finucane told the PA news agency EURO
“Last year I was kind of the underdog and I just came through so now I am wearing the stripes EURO
I hope that doesn’t really change anything EURO
“I’m just trying to ignore it and just race my bike, but there is some external pressure EURO
I’m not just Emma at the back of the field anymore EURO
”The rainbow jersey can do different things for different riders EURO
While many take it as a confidence boost, for others the stripes have worn heavily EURO
Finucane said she had spoken to several Great Britain team-mates about how to deal with it EURO
“I don’t want to look at it (as giving me a psychological edge) because if I lose, then what?” she said EURO
“And I will get beaten, and that’s fine EURO
I just need to take it as it comes EURO
“Half of it is the mental battle of putting it on and people looking at you and having that pressure, but I’m trying to embrace it and enjoy it because you don’t know if it will happen again EURO
“EURO Beth Shriever is a really good friend of mine and she’s been the BMX world and Olympic champion EURO
She said she didn’t have the best year in the rainbow jersey because she put too much pressure on herself and she overthought it EURO
“I’ve spoken to Evie (Richards, 2021 mountain bike world champion) and Katie Archibald (a five-time world champion on the track) and I’m lucky we have so many inspiring women in the Great Britain team EURO
It’s great I can learn from them but ultimately I will only learn from myself and how I deal with it EURO
”And Finucane believes the Champions League – the made-for-TV track cycling series which is in its third season – is the ideal place to do much of that learning, providing some top-level competition without the stresses and pressures that come elsewhere EURO
“The next event I’ll do in the rainbows is the Euros (in January) which is when everything is serious,” she said EURO
“I’m not saying this isn’t serious, but it’s a nice place to be free to fail EURO
You can try new things EURO
”Saturday’s racing in Palma saw Finucane finish second in the sprint, beaten by Germany’s Alessa-Catriona Propster, before failing to make the keirin final through some tired legs EURO
But it was just the sort of experience she was looking for when it came to dealing with her new status EURO
Finucane will wear the stripes into an Olympic year but despite her status is taking nothing, not even squad selection, for granted EURO
“Nothing is guaranteed,” she said EURO
“I’d love to go and I’m really pushing myself but I need to take each race as it comes EURO
If I just think about Paris and everything else goes wrong I’ll not be going EURO
“But it’s in the back of my mind because since I was 10 years old I’ve wanted to ride the Olympics EURO
“As the GB sprint team we’ll not just be going there to ride but we’re looking for medals and I fully believe we have the potential to win EURO
It’s super exciting but also super scary EURO

Australian star batter David Warner, who hurled abuses at the on-field umpire during their Cricket World Cup match against Sri Lanka, “should face a fine”, according to a former cricketer EURO
Ex-New Zealand pacer Simon Doull called for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to penalise Warner for his outburst against on-field umpire Joel Wilson after being adjudged LBW during Australia’s win over Sri Lanka in Lucknow in the Cricket World Cup 2023 on Monday EURO
“David Warner should face a fine from the ICC for his behaviour EURO
If he doesn’t, there’s a problem EURO
His reaction, swearing at Joel Wilson, is unacceptable EURO
Such incidents bother me a lot EURO
It was a correct decision; the ball was just clipping the stumps,” Doull said in an interview with Cricbuzz EURO
Australia, who have finally won a game this World Cup after losing their opening two fixtures, have faced a streak of unfortunate umpiring decisions, with Warner being on the receiving end this time at the Ekana stadium EURO
Unlike his teammates, the southpaw didn’t mask his frustration as he smashed his bat on the ground and vented his anger on umpire Wilson with a bombardment of expletives as he left the field EURO

Sri Lanka’s left-arm pacer Dilshan Madushanka delivered an in-dipper from over the wicket, leaving Warner cramped EURO
Warner, who hopped on his crease, had the ball struck his front pad EURO
The ball might have missed the stumps due to its angle, on-field umpire Wilson’s perspective was slightly different as he declared Warner out EURO
The Aussie opener, gesturing that the ball was surely heading down the leg side as soon as it hit his pads, immediately called for a review EURO
With the ball-tracking technology revealing that the ball would have just clipped the leg stump, the third umpire asked Wilson to retain his on-field decision as it fell within the “umpire’s call” category, leaving Warner furious EURO
The Australian batter would not have been given out if Wilson’s on-field decision was a different one, which perhaps was his biggest frustration EURO
“If the ball hits the stumps, it’s out EURO
There’s no need to swear at the umpire EURO
The umpire has to make a quick decision in real-time EURO
When I saw it live, I thought it was a close call EURO
The umpire made his call based on one look, and in the end, it was proven to be correct EURO
It wasn’t a bad or incorrect decision,” added Doull in the interview EURO
Interestingly, Wilson was the same umpire who gave both Steve Smith and Marcus Stoinis not out in the previous match only to have his decision overturned by the third umpire after South Africa opted for DRS EURO
During the 18th over of Australia’s innings against South Africa, Stoinis’ defensive shot off pacer Kagiso Rabada’s delivery was caught by a flying Quinton de Kock, but Wilson declared it not out EURO
However, when South Africa opted for a review, the decision was reversed in their favour EURO
The replay and UltraEdge demonstrated that the ball had brushed Stoinis’ bottom hand during its flight, suggesting contact with the bat EURO
This led to the beginning of what would be a heated debate on the field EURO
