biography
Athletic career
In 2005, at the age of 16, Lizzie Armitstead became vice world champion in scratch at the junior competitions in Vienna . In 2007, at the U23 European Championship in Cottbus , she was European champion in this discipline and second in the points race. At the U23 European Championship in Pruszków in 2008 , she won two titles, in the scratch and in the team pursuit (with Joanna Rowsell and Katie Colclough ) and a second place in the points race .
Lizzie Armitstead was able to continue her successes at the junior level with the elite. At the 2009 World Championships in Pruszków , she placed right at the front: Gold in the team pursuit (with Wendy Houvenaghel and Joanna Rowsell), silver in the scratch and bronze in the points race.
Armitstead is also successful on the road: in 2009 she was British Road Champion (U23) and second in the elite. The silver medal was initially withdrawn from her because, in the opinion of the chief judge, this double start was illegal. However, this decision was reversed. In addition, Armitstead took third place in the overall ranking of the Tour de l'Ardeche in 2009 . In 2011 she became British road champion.
In 2010 and 2011 Lizzie Armitstead drove for the Cervelo Test Team or its successor Garmin-Cervélo , after which it was dissolved in 2012 and switched to the Dutch cycling team AA Drink-leontien.nl and the following year to the Boels Dolmans Cyclingteam .
She won silver in road racing at the 2012 London Olympics . In 2014 she won the Ronde van Drenthe . That same year she decided the road race in the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow after itself in 2010 had won the silver medal. In 2014 and 2015 , Armistead won the overall ranking of the Cycling World Cup .
In 2016 Lizzie Armitstead was nominated to take part in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro , where she finished fifth in the street race. In the same year she became world champion in the team time trial together with the Boels Dolmans Cyclingteam and won the team time trial at the Holland Ladies Tour . She also won the British The Women's Tour .
At the end of August 2017, Lizzie Deignan, who had had a strong season up to then, started the Boels Rental Ladies Tour . After the second stage she was in tenth place, but then had to be admitted to a hospital to have her appendix removed. This jeopardized their participation in the road world championships in Bergen, Norway . A few days before the start of the world championships, it was announced that she would start captain of the British women's team in Bergen. She finished 42nd in the road race. Then she took a break from racing.
In September 2018 Deignan had a daughter. In April 2019, she started the Amstel Gold Race for the first time after her pregnancy . In the same year she won the overall ranking of the Women's Tour .
Missed doping tests
A few days before the start of the 2016 Olympic Games, it became known that Armitstead had missed three tests by the British anti-doping agency UKAD the year before and should therefore have been banned for four years. However, the International Court of Justice for Sports (CAS) dropped the proceedings on the grounds that UKAD had not tried to reach Armitstead with sufficient rigor.
This decision by the CAS met with a lack of understanding in cycling circles, but also in the British media. Former rower Zac Purchase was quoted in the Independent : "Imagine what we would be saying if she was Russian." ("Imagine what we would say if she were Russian.") Journalist Ian Herbert wrote from Rio: " Armitstead should not be here. "(" Armitstead should not be here. ") The Italian driver Valentina Scandolara felt reminded of Orwell's animal farm :" All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. " Animals are the same, but some animals are more alike than others. ")
Private
In mid-September 2016, Lizzie Armitstead married her racing driver colleague Philip Deignan and has since competed under her married name. In March 2018, she announced that she was expecting her first child but plans to return to the sport in 2019. The child, a girl, was born in September 2018. Philip Deignan then ended his active career, has been coaching Lizzie Deignan ever since and looks after their daughter.
