Jamie Staff Profile - Mission Sports Management

Track Sprint Cycling / BMX

A World and Olympic champion, Jamie has also won numerous other medals at World Championships, World Cups and at the Commonwealth Games.

Jamie was undoubtedly one of the cycling stories of the year in 2002. A BMX rider who had won just about everything from the World Championships downwards, he decided at the end of 2001 that he wanted to win an Olympic medal. As BMX was not an Olympic sport then, he turned his attention to Track sprinting events.

He qualified for the GB Cycling Team at the first attempt and has since produced some stunning performances.

A natural competitor, he revels in the combative nature of the Sprint and the Keirin, though his stand-out rides so far have been in the Olympic Sprint and The Kilo.

At the Commonwealth Games in 2002, Jamie was a crowd-pleasing member of the silver medal winning England Team Sprint trio, an impressive semi-finalist in the sprint (during which he broke the national 200m record) and the winner of a bronze in the Kilo, behind GB team-mates Chris Hoy and Jason Queally..

However, he surpassed all expectations when he helped GB to win a gold medal in the Team Sprint at the 2002 world Track Championships in Copenhagen, less than a year after taking up track racing. In 2003 he continued to progress, recording two pbs in the Kilo and a win in the Mexico World cup in the discipline.

Despite not winning a medal at Athens in 2004, he took gold in the keirin and bronze in the team sprint at the World Championships in Melbourne. He returned to the city in 2006 to win a silver in the team sprint at the Commonwealth Games.

At the 2008 Olympic Games, Jamie won Gold in the Team sprint.
