Elizabeth Jordan (born 7 November 1997) is a British para-cyclist, who won gold in the time trial B at the 2024 Summer Paralympics in Paris. Left without her sight following a severe e-coli infection as a teenager which saw her spend two months in a coma, Jordan had to re-learn how to walk as part of her long recovery from the disease. Her drive and determination for physical challenges were in evidence as she completed the 2019 London Marathon just 18 months later. Following this impressive achievement, British Cycling invited Jordan to a talent identification day, and they saw enough potential in the Guildford native to invite her to join their para-cycling foundation team, where she began training and developing towards a potential future in elite level competitive para-cycling.
