Kadeena Cox

Kadeena Cox is a multiple Paralympic and world champion across cycling and athletics, but made her first appearance at a Commonwealth Games at Glasgow 2026 where she won a silver in the C4-C5 1000m time trial.

It marked the first time Cox was eligible to compete in para cycling, having previously missed out through injury on the track at the previous two iterations.

But luck is not something Cox has had to rely on in her glittering career, having won four Paralympic gold medals in cycling alone since 2016, as well as further four Track World Championship golds and five silvers.

And while cycling will be her sole focus at the Commonwealth Games this time around, she also has a Paralympic gold and three World Championship golds to her name from her time on the athletics track.

Cox was a sprinter from an early age, and entered para athletics in 2015 after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

She was appointed an MBE in 2017 and an OBE in 2022.
