Jenny Holl (born 13 September 1999) is a Scottish professional racing cyclist. Originally from Scotland, Holl moved to Manchester in 2017.

Career

In January 2018, Holl became Scotland's youngest national champion, at the British Track Cycling Championships. In June 2019, at the European Games in Minsk, Holl won a silver medal in the team pursuit event.

Holl became a para-cycling sighted pilot for Sophie Unwin in March 2021 after coming to the end of her time with the Great Britain Senior Academy.

Just four months after first partnering with Unwin, the pair were selected as members of the ParalympicsGB cycling squad for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. Holl won the bronze medal in the individual pursuit on the track at the 2020 Summer Paralympics alongside Unwin, before taking silver in the road race B.

At the 2024 British Cycling National Track Championships, she won both the Scratch and Points national titles.

On 22 July 2024 it was announced that Holl had been selected for the British team ahead of the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris, her second Games, as a pilot for Sophie Unwin. Together they competed in both road and track cycling disciplines, and medalled in all four of their events. The first of these medals, a bronze, came on 30 August in the women's 1000 m time trial B. A second medal, the duo's first Paralympic gold, came two days later in the women's 3000 m pursuit B. In the road time trial B on 4 September they claimed silver, beating fellow British pairing Lora Fachie and Corrine Hall, who won bronze. Holl and Unwin won a second gold medal of the Games in the women's road race B on 6 September.
