Is retiring Archibald Scotland's greatest female athlete?
That haul includes two Olympic titles and a silver medal, Commonwealth gold, seven world titles and a world-leading 21 European titles. Yet she left it late in her teens to follow older brother John - himself a British champion - into professional cycling having initially taken it up for the social aspect. Having been invited on to the British women's track endurance squad in 2013, Archibald won the European team pursuit title in her senior competitive debut alongside Laura Kenny, Dani Rowe and Elinor Barker and she has never looked back.
However, despite all the major titles, when asked about her own career highlights, Archibald picked out her first major solo medal - a bronze in the Commonwealth Games points race in Glasgow 2014. Her other personal highlight came 10 years later, in 2024, winning the madison with Neah Evans at the UCI Nations Cup. An incredible return, but how does she compare to other Scottish female athletes?
Still playing football at the age of 35, former Scotland midfielder Kim Little has won the Women's Champions League with Arsenal as well as league titles in England, Scotland and Australia - plus a string of cup finals. Rower Katherine Grainger has one Olympic gold and six world titles, as well as a string of lesser medals, mainly in quadruple and double sculls. Eve Muirhead, meanwhile, won Olympic and world golds at curling.
Hannah Rankin was Scotland's first-ever world boxing champion when she won the IBO super-welterweight title. Hannah Miley won a world championship in swimming. Liz McColgan claims world gold and Olympic silver in the 10,000m.
And Shirley Robertson won consecutive Olympic golds in sailing. Evans - an Olympic and world silver medallist herself - told BBC Scotland "it is completely justified" that Archibald is being talked about as the most successful Scottish female athlete. "She will be cringing and going 'no, no, no this is not why I did it'," Evans said.
