CONGRATULATIONS to sporting couple Laura and Jason Kenny on the birth of their son Albert Louie.

They posted a lovely Instagram picture of the three of them with their two dogs in a very normal family scene. The likeable couple have had the golden touch in their competitive cycling careers and let’s hope there is still more to come from them both.

Albert certainly has a great pedigree for sporting success whatever he does. But I suspect this down-to-earth Northern duo won’t push their son to achieve. Like their parents did, they will just actively encourage an enjoyable sporting lifestyle.
