A former teenage cycling champion who was sexually abused as a child by her former coach has been ordered to stand trial accused of trying to murder him.

The South Australian Supreme Court has suppressed the identity of the 20-year-old woman as she pleaded not guilty to three charges stemming from an incident at a house at Kilburn in Adelaide last September.

The young woman is accused of stabbing former Cycling Australia official and convicted sex offender Warwick Phillips in front of his wife and children.

The woman also allegedly assaulted Phillips' wife.

Phillips was given a suspended jail sentence in 2009 for numerous child sex offences.

The latest court hearing has been told the accused was his victim.

She is to appear in court again next month and will be tried on a date to be set.
