Inspiring the Next Generation of
Olympic Champions

Cynisca /si’niss’kuh/ was a Spartan chariot racehorse trainer who became the first female Olympic champion in 396 & 392 BC. She broke barriers by entering in and winning the then male-only Olympics. Her legendary success provides inspiration to our young women cyclists today.
