Jason Kenny’s Biography:

Sir Jason Kenny is the most successful and decorated British Olympian of all time, widely recognised for his extraordinary achievements in track cycling. A seven-time Olympic champion, Jason has dominated sprint cycling for more than a decade, winning multiple Olympic gold medals and setting world records along the way. His success across Olympic Games, World Championships and international competitions has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest cyclists in the history of the sport.

Jason’s cycling journey began at a young age when he started competing in junior events, including the Future Stars series. His early promise quickly became evident as he progressed through youth competitions and began winning titles at the junior level. These early successes led to selection for the British Cycling programme, where he trained at the HSBC UK National Cycling Centre in Manchester and developed into one of Britain’s most promising sprint cyclists.

His international breakthrough came at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, where he won gold in the team sprint alongside Chris Hoy and Jamie Staff, with the team breaking the world record during qualifying. Jason went on to dominate Olympic sprint cycling over the following decade, winning multiple gold medals at both the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympic Games. His performances made him the most successful British Olympian in history, and he later added an Olympic silver medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.

Beyond the Olympic stage, Jason has enjoyed a decorated career in international cycling, winning medals at the Track World Championships, European Championships and World Cup events. His achievements have been recognised with numerous honours, including an MBE, OBE and CBE before he was knighted in the 2022 New Year Honours for services to cycling. Jason is married to fellow Olympic cyclist Dame Laura Kenny, making them one of Britain’s most successful sporting couples.
