Sophie Thornhill
Sophie is a visually impaired para-cyclist,
So her partner is Rachel James, the tandem,
She’s on the Boot Out Breast Cancer team,
And is a mastermind at Friends, all shows.
From Poynton in Cheshire in England great,
Sophie was born on 9th February in 1996,
And started racing as an adult in 2013’s year,
When she was initially piloted by Helen Scott.
After Helen won three British cycling events,
She went international she changed pilot,
To Rachel, and they won two gold medals,
In Newport, to miss the WR by 0.73 seconds.
She made the Glasgow Commonwealths,
To win the gold in the sprint, 2-0 straight,
And at Rio Sophie, but this time with Helen,
Won gold with a WR, in the B 1000m trial.
