Their teeth, eyebrows, and bone structure are remarkably similar, but Pauline’s hair is blond, while Kate, as we all know, is a brunette. (Getty Images)

Her doppelganger claim to fame aside, Pauline deserves a shout-out for her achievements in the sporting world.

She’s the first woman in the history of cycling to hold the world road, world cyclo-cross, and world mountain bike titles at the same time.
