He admitted his outlook on life has changed since his terminal cancer diagnosis last year.
Sir Chris Hoy has revealed his campaign for early cancer screening has given him a “purpose and drive” that he hasn’t felt since aiming for Olympic Gold medals.
Sir Chris said: “A year on, I genuinely feel as though I've made that progress. I've kind of got through the difficult six months. We've accepted what's happened and we've moved on and it's, you know, it's a stage four diagnosis, so it's with me for the rest of my life. “You feel lucky to have had that one focus in your life. Your one purpose and you accept in sport it lasts so long and that's it, that's your window and then the rest of your life… I wasn't trying to chase that feeling, I accept that, nothing's going to be quite the same as that - but there's loads of exciting things to do in life and to pursue and roles to play.
“None of us live forever,” Sir Chris said. “This is the wake up call for me. You know, it's not as if we had an infinite life and I found out I don't.
