Alopecia drove Rowsell to greatness

As she completed a lap of honour after winning Olympic gold, cyclist Joanna Rowsell pulled off her helmet to proudly reveal her bald head.

Having lived with the hair loss condition alopecia since childhood, the 23-year-old has not flinched from speaking about her condition. Indeed she says her hair loss has helped drive her on to greatness. And her win in the women's cycling team pursuit at the velodrome could not have come at a better time - it fell on International Alopecia Day which seeks to raise awareness of the condition.

She said a fan contacted her on Twitter on Saturday to tell her about the special day: "I thought, 'Wow, that's a bit spooky that our Olympic final is the same day'."
