Laura Trott and Jason Kenny's baby "will be the best cyclist"

Britain's golden couple Laura Trott and Jason Kenny have been joking about the phenomenal potential of their future children in the glow of their incredible success at the Olympics in Rio.

In an interview with the Telegraph the pair spoke about their wedding plans for next month, family dreams, and children names alongside their continued goals and future Olympic ambitions.

While family planning has had to go on hold over the last year-or-so as the pair prepared for the Olympic Games, Trott managed to slip in a joke that their son wouldn't be named after the Keirin event just after Kenny won gold in the Kerin event in Rio.

"He's not getting called Keirin!" She said. "We may as well call him Bike!"

The children talk didn't stop there. So, as the nation discussed the outrageous potential of a child with the gene mixture of the 10-time Olympic gold medal-winning pair, Trott again fired out a tweet joking about that very idea.

Arghhhh!!!!!! I love him to bits @JasonKenny107 !! Our kids have to get some of these genes right?!

Feeling the need to defend her tweet 24-year old Trott later emerged clarifying that she only joked about it because everyone "kept going on about it."

She said: "I only put it out there because everyone kept going on about it. So I was just like: ‘It could be the best omnium rider in the world, couldn’t it? Bit of sprint, bit of endurance. You never know.’ Twenty-something years down the line, you never know."

She then added a little more spice to the national gossip broth by suggesting she could have children before she retires from cycling.

Trott compared her circumstances to American Olympic champion Kristin Armstrong who has won gold medals since she gave birth to a son in 2010.

"There are not so many cyclists that have done that, [have children while still competitively active]." Trott said. "I say that, but Armstrong went on to do it....We haven’t really thought about that. I guess I am still quite young."

The more obviously emotional of the pair, four-time Olympic Champion Trott, was seen on numerous occasions beside herself with nerves or overwhelming happiness trackside in Rio - especially during or just after one of her husband-to-be's races.

That's not to say that Kenny didn't partake in the public dreaming about the pair's future.

Talking about the couple's incredible golden five medal haul from Rio, Kenny said that the Olympics were "not a bad trip.... but it puts pressure on the honeymoon."

The pair now have ten gold medals between them, and at 24 and 28 years old respectively, both Trott and Kenny will most likely be making appearances in Tokyo in 2020.

Those of you desperate to know whether or not there'll be a little Jason Kenny or Laura Trott following them to that Games, will just have to wait patiently.
