Sir Chris Hoy, one of Britain's greatest cyclists and Olympians, has announced that his cancer is terminal. Sir Chris revealed earlier this year he was being treated for an unspecified type of cancer and was 'optimistic, positive and surrounded by love'. However, he has announced in an interview with The Sunday Times that his cancer is terminal and that he had 'known this for over a year'. Hoy revealed that he has 'two to four years' to live.
He added to his gold medal haul by winning three more at Beijing four years later and two at London 2012. Hoy also won 11 world titles and was knighted in the 2008 New Year Honours List after his success at the Beijing Olympics. His rise to the top mirrored his nation's emergence to the top of track cycling. The velodrome built for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow is named in his honour.
