ANNA MORRIS became a world champion in the velodrome this week but two-and-a-half years ago she was working as a junior doctor in intensive care during the peak of the pandemic.
Morris, 28, was part of the Great Britain team that won the women’s team pursuit crown at the UCI Cycling World Championships on Saturday night, and then reflected on the “whirlwind” journey that got her to this point.
She had recently graduated from medical school and begun clinical placements when the pandemic took hold in early 2020, and was soon shifted to intensive care work as case numbers spiked.
