Let's start with a scoop: Rebecca McConnell, until 2017, can be found in the arrival orders with the name Rebecca Henderson. This is because she married the strong athlete Daniel McConnell in 2017 and changed her name to Rebecca McConnell.
Born on September 27, 1991 in Canberra, Australia, she is a biker specializing in cross country who represented Australia in 3 Olympics: London, Rio and Tokyo. In the Olympic reviews you have never particularly shone, closing the last edition of Tokyo in 28th position.
The most prestigious result is certainly the bronze medal at the World Mountain Bike Championships 2019 e 2020. In his palmares various victories at the XCO national championships and various placings in the World Cup.
Her husband, Daniel McConnell, is also a great athlete who can boast 2 participations in the Olympics (London and Tokyo) and a World Cup victory in 2013 (Albstadt sprinting with Sergio Mantecon). Daniel also coaches Rebecca.
Perhaps Rebecca's victory surprised because she has always been a placement athlete while last Sunday (link) showed a grit and a winning tactic. We hope that 2022 will be a great season for you.
