Career
At the 2021 UCI Road World Championships, Bäckstedt won the gold medal in the junior women's road race, and silver in the junior women's time trial. A year later, she upgraded junior time-trial silver to gold, winning the event by over a minute and a half before successfully defending her road race title with a dominant solo victory, and her third road world championship at junior level.
At the 2022 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships, Bäckstedt won a second world junior title, this time in the cyclo-cross discipline. In 2025 she won her first 'senior' World Championship at the 2025 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships in the mixed team relay for Great Britain; while technically still an under-23 rider, she took the elite rider spot in the relay, allowing Cat Ferguson to take the under-23 leg.
This completed a hat-trick of world titles across three different disciplines, having won the Madison at the 2022 UCI Junior Track Cycling World Championships. Bäckstedt is a three time European junior champion on the track and a junior and under-23 European cyclo-cross champion.
In 2022, at the age of 17, Bäckstedt signed with UCI Women's World Tour Team EF Education–Tibco–SVB
