Jason Kenny

Sir Jason Francis Kenny (born 23 March 1988) is an English former track cyclist, specialising in the individual and team sprints. Kenny is the winner of most Olympic gold medals (7) and medals (9) by a British athlete. Kenny's seven Olympic gold medals place him joint 15th in gold medals won in the Summer Olympic games since 1896. He holds the records for both most Olympic golds and most Olympic medals won by a cyclist.

With seven gold and two silver medals, Kenny is both the most successful cyclist in Olympic history and the most successful British Olympian overall. His wife, Dame Laura Kenny, is the most successful female British athlete in the history of the games (with five gold medals and one silver); together they are the most successful married couple in Summer Olympic history where both spouses have won at least one gold medal.

After winning World and European Junior titles in 2006 and achieving medals in the under-23 European championships in 2007, Kenny was selected to compete for Great Britain at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. With Chris Hoy and Jamie Staff, he won a gold medal in the team sprint, breaking the world record in the qualifying round. He finished behind Hoy in the final of the individual sprint, gaining a silver medal.

In January 2012, he gained his first world championship title, when Grégory Baugé's results were nullified after a backdated 12-month ban for missing a drugs test, and the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) promoted Kenny to the gold medal. At the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, he won gold medals in both the team sprint and the individual sprint, beating Baugé in the final. At the 2016 Summer Olympics Kenny again won in the Team Sprint and the Individual Sprint, and also won the Keirin. In the 2020 Summer Olympics he won the Keirin again.
