Why we love Victoria Pendleton

As a British sportsperson, cyclist Victoria Pendleton has stood out in recent years by not being utterly shit. Having won gold at the 2006 Commonwealth Games and the 2008 Olympics, she was awarded an MBE. In a sport where cuts and grazes are common, she cheerfully admits to using incontinence pads to dress her own wounds when thrown off the bike (“they’re great for mopping up the gunk”) and berates big-faced contrarian Jeremy Clarkson for encouraging dangerous driving.

Aside from rebuking motoring journalists, she's won gold at the World Championships for the last four years, and the Sunday Times named Victoria Pendleton as their Sportswoman of the Year in 2007. Amongst all the successes, she says the most important person is her mum, for telling her that all she can do is her best. Aww.

We featured Victoria in an FHM cover shoot in July 2009, and were doing our best to make her feel good: “But I’m still a girl and love putting a frock on and feeling feminine,” she says. “I worry sometimes with all of the training I do that I won’t look feminine. So it’s nice sometimes to make the effort and ‘feel like a lady.’” Oh yes it is.
