Alexander Edmondson (born 22 December 1993) is an Australian road and track cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Team DSM–Firmenich PostNL.[4] Edmondson was a member of the Australian Olympic Track Cycling team at the 2012 London Olympics, alongside his sister, Annette Edmondson. In 2014 he was world champion in the individual pursuit. He won the silver medal in the team pursuit at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Early life and amateur career

[edit]

Edmondson was born above a Chinese coffee shop in Borneo. He lived in both the Netherlands and the Sultanate of Oman before returning to Australia at the end of 1998. Edmondson and his sister both attended St. John's Grammar School, in the Adelaide Hills. At the age of 18, Edmondson became the 2nd youngest cyclist ever to be selected for an Australian Olympic Team.[5] With his sister Annette they became the first brother and sister combination to be selected to represent Australia at the same Olympics. For recognition of his achievements Edmondson was awarded a scholarship with the Sport Australia Hall of Fame.[5] In 2013 he won the South Australian Sports Star of the Year award. Previous winners have included Lleyton Hewitt, Donald Bradman and Malcolm Blight. In March 2014 Edmondson competed in the 2014 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Cali, Colombia winning two World Titles in the individual pursuit and team pursuit. A few months later Edmondson won the gold medal in the team pursuit at the 2014 Commonwealth Games at Glasgow. He is also a dual Junior World Champion where his records still stand today.[citation needed][when?]

Professional career

In January 2015 it was reported in the Adelaide Advertiser that Edmondson had signed his first UCI World Tour contract with Australian road cycling team Orica–GreenEDGE for the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

I know I have achieved a fair bit at a young age, but I want to be remembered as a true sportsman, someone who always gave their all and never forgot those who have helped me achieve my results. I also want to be remembered for making time for younger athletes and being supportive of them. I know from personal experience how much impact having a mentor can have on a young athlete starting out

— Alexander Edmondson[citation needed]

Edmondson believes it's critical that he is a champion both on and off the bike, and has become increasingly involved in community events since he returned from the Olympics. Edmondson volunteers his time at local high schools mentoring and speaking with students encouraging them to get the best out of themselves. He talks about goal setting, pain is a short term hindrance and how important challenging yourself is.[citation needed] He has been a guest speaker at a number of events, including the Australian Cycling Executives (ACE), Cancer Council Breakfast, AOC Talk with a Champ program and also an event called the Faces of the World Dinner for 400 people promoting multiculturalism and strength in diversity within South Australia.

He was named in the start list for the 2017 Giro d'Italia.[6]
