Georgia Baker (born 21 September 1994) is an Australian professional racing cyclist.[7] She rode in the women's team pursuit at the 2016 UCI Track Cycling World Championships.[8]

Cycling career

[edit | edit source]

After taking a break from road racing in 2016 with the High5 Dream Team to focus on her Rio Olympics campaign, Baker signed for Orica-Scott to race in the Women's World Tour team for 2017.[9] In her first European race for the team at the end of May, Baker was among the 90 non-finishers of 121 that started at Gooik–Geraardsbergen–Gooik.[10]

Baker withdrew from the 2017 Women's Tour on the opening stage after experiencing a racing heart and sharp pains in her chest and arm.[11] She was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia, which is not a life-threatening condition, but needed to be treated to continue as an athlete. She had surgery in early August, and resumed training for a mixed road and track season in the run-up to the 2018 Commonwealth Games.[12] Following the successful surgery, Baker undertook a three-month training block in Australia before racing at the Oceania Track Championships in November 2017.[13]

Baker qualified for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. She was a member of the women's pursuit team. The team, consisting of Ashlee Ankudinoff, Georgia Baker, Annette Edmondson, Alexandra Manly and Maeve Plouffe, finished fifth.[14]

At the 2022 Commonwealth Games, Baker won the gold medal in the women's team pursuit event alongside Sophie Edwards, Chloe Moran and Maeve Plouffe, setting a games record time of 4:14.06.
