Michael Blatchford Biography

Michael Blatchford is one of the most popular and richest Sport Cyclist who was born on January 29, 1986 in Cypress, United States. Blatchford was raised in Cypress, California and began his cycling career when he was thirteen years old. It was here that he discovered the Olympic Velodrome, which hosted the 1984 Summer Olympics track cycling tournament. Blatchford was inspired by his fascination with the track and became a track sprinter. He won the silver medal at UCI Junior World Championships 2004 in Los Angeles. He also won the U.S. men’s sprint title, beating Christian Stahl and Giddeon Masie. This marked Blatchford’s debut on the international and domestic track cycling scene.

Blatchford set his sights on the 2008 Olympics team sprint event and teamed up to Olympic athletes Massie (Olympians) and Adam Duvendeck (UCI World Championships, Manchester, England).

Returning from two years off the sport, Blatchford managed to reclaim the men’s sprint titles (both individual and team) at the 2011 U.S. Track Cycling Championships, and further continued his stellar ride as part of the team that registered an American record of 44.036 and earned a silver medal at the Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico. Having been chosen by USA Cycling to be eligible for team selection, Blatchford sought his official bid to compete for the 2012 Summer Olympics, but he was shortlisted.

Blatchford, who had a spectacular performance at the World Championships, qualified for two track events at the 2008 Summer Olympics. He recorded the fastest entry time and earned an automatic berth through the USA Cycling Team Selection Camp. Blatchford and his teammates Massie, Duvendeck, set an eighth- place time of 45.346, which was an average speed of 59.542 km/h on the morning prelims. They were then knocked off the track by the Brits, led by Olympic legend Chris Hoy, in the first round of the men’s sprint. Blatchford finished second in his repechage heat, behind Kazunari Watanabe from Japan, two days later in the men’s sprint. He lost his round of sixteenteen match-up with Kevin Sireau in France. Blatchford was able to grab a 15th seed in the morning session with a time 10.470.
