Pilot for Lizzi Jordan, Women's B

It was a debut games to remember for Danni Khan as she piloted Lizzi Jordan to gold in the Women’s B 1,000m time trial.

Danni Khan started her sporting life as a short track speed skater, and was encouraged to try cycling as part of her off season conditioning. She quickly found success on the velodrome and became a member of British Cycling’s Olympic Development Programme in 2012.

In August 2013, at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome in Glasgow, Khan represented Britain at the UCI Juniors Track World Championships. She was featured in the documentary film Bicycle.

In January 2016, Khan joined Team Breeze, British Cycling’s women’s development squad.

In October 2016, Khan took part in the U23 European Track Championships where she won a Team Pursuit bronze.

She has gone on to team up with Lizzi Jordan as a pilot and won a hat-trick of gold medals at the UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in Brazil in 2024.
