Kian Emadi (born 29 July 1992) is a British track cyclist.[1] He has represented Great Britain and England at international level, and is a three time British National Track champion.
Born and raised in Stoke-on-Trent, Emadi started cycling competitively at the age of 13, and raced in many disciplines (track, road and cyclo-cross), before concentrating on the sprint disciplines of track racing. Emadi moved to Manchester at the age of 18 as a member of the British Cycling Podium Programme.[2]
He represented Great Britain at the 2013 UCI Track Cycling World Championships and England at the 2014 Commonwealth Games.[3] He won his first senior medal, a silver in the team sprint, at the latter event.
After suffering a back injury in September 2014, which limited the amount of gym work he could do to attempt to secure a place in the British team sprint squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics, Emadi switched to the endurance squad.[4]
Personal life
Emadi attended St Peter's Church of England High School and then moved to St Joseph's Sixth Form School in Stoke to study for A levels.
