Erin Boothman has her sights set firmly on the 2028 Olympics after a remarkable double-gold medal debut at last month's Track Cycling World Championships.

The 19-year-old Scot helped Great Britain win the team pursuit final in Shanghai, along with Anna Morris, Millie Couzens and Josie Knight.

She then partnered Morris to triumph in the madison.

"I definitely didn't expect anything like that to happen in my first year of racing," the teenager told BBC Scotland. "It's still a bit of a pinch me moment, but as time goes on it's starting to feel more real."

Citing the now-retired Katie Archibald as an inspiration "on and off the bike", Boothman is hoping to follow her Olympic path by earning a place in Los Angeles.

Compatriot Archibald has two golds and a silver from 2016 and 2020, while a freak accident robbed her of a place at Paris 2024.

Asked about her Olympic aspirations, Boothman, who has four world junior titles, replied: "Before the World Championships it was a dream that felt out of reach but now it would be silly to not try and get there.

"It's definitely number one on my list of goals for the next few years."

In July, Boothman picked up two bronze medals for Scotland at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow from the individual pursuit and scratch race.

It meant a joyful return to the Sir Chris Hoy Arena, where she spent many hours of training as a child, travelling from home in Netherlee.

"I definitely wouldn't be where I am today on the track without the velodrome being built," Boothman explained. "It's got a special place in my heart."

Now based in Girona, Spain, an unconditional offer to study pharmacology at Strathclyde University has been passed on as she pursues more glory on the bike.

"I'm going to keep that as my plan B," she said.

"I feel very privileged to make cycling my career, it has changed my life round."
