Sir Chris Hoy
One of the most transformative cyclists in the sport’s history, Chris Hoy is one of the men who helped catapult cycling into the public eye like never before. With 17 global titles in four cycling disciplines, Chris is the most successful track cyclist of all time with six Olympic golds, 11 World Championship titles and two Commonwealth Games victories to his name.
Alongside other famous British cyclists Bradley Wiggins and Jason Kenny, Chris is considered one of the key figures in the sport’s rise in popularity. Now operating as one of the UK’s most famous athletic speakers, he regularly recalls stories from his impressive career outlining how his success was possible and inspiring audiences across the country.
Growing up in Edinburgh, Chris was inspired to become a professional cyclist when watching the film E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial as a six-year-old. He joined his first cycling club as a 14-year-old, and quickly became one of the best cyclists in his age group, rising through the ranks and competing at some of the biggest events on the planet. Chris’ first taste of the Olympics came in Sydney in 2000 and while he only won a silver medal it was a sign of things to come. At the next three consecutive Olympic games, he won six gold medals in the 1km time trial, Sprint and Keirin events. Only one British athlete in history has won more Olympic medals than Chris, and when booked as an athletic speaker he is able to discuss what it was like competing at the highest level of his sport and how he wrote his name into British sporting history.
In his spare time, Chris is a huge fan of motorsport and upon retiring from competitive cycling began a career in motorsport. In 2014 he joined the British GT championship and two years later he took part in the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans. One of the most unique athletic speakers around, at his impressive speaking events he can discuss both his cycling and motorsport careers, explaining what has motivated him to continue in professional sport despite his past successes.
