Christopher Malcolm Newton (born 29 September 1973,
Middlesbrough , England
[2] ) is a road and track racing cyclist. Newton is a multiple world champion and triple Olympic medalist.
Biography
Newton went to Linthorpe Juniors and Boynton Comprehensive in Teesside, and, aged 13, started cycling with Teesside Clarion.
[3] He is an
alumnus of the
University of Teesside in
Middlesbrough . Newton first competed in the
Commonwealth Games in 1994, winning the silver medal in the Team Pursuit with
Tony Doyle ,
Rob Hayles and
Bryan Steel .
He was a member of the British Team Pursuit squad which finished tenth at the
1996 Olympic Games in
Atlanta . The team included
Matt Illingworth ,
Rob Hayles and
Bryan Steel . He won the bronze medal in the Team Pursuit at the
2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. He won a silver medal in the Team Pursuit, and the bronze in the Points Race at the
2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester.
Newton won the silver medal in the Team Pursuit at the
2004 Olympic Games in Athens.
[4] He also competed in the Points Race, but failed to finish the race.
[5] He won gold in the Team Pursuit at the
2006 Commonwealth Games in
Melbourne .
Despite his focus on pursuing a track career at world class level, Newton's all-round ability has also seen him take many wins in top international amateur road races throughout his career.
Newton broke his collarbone on 6 March 2008 when a car door was opened in his path whilst he was training on the road, putting him out of contention for the upcoming World Championships at the end of March.
[6] This put him on the backfoot at the
2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing,
[7] where he contested the
points race .
Joan Llaneras built up an impressive lead to take the gold, leaving Newton to battle it out with
Roger Kluge for silver. A late attack by Kluge left Newton unable to respond, but he was happy to take a bronze medal at his fourth Olympic Games.
[7]
[8]
At the first round of the World Cup Classics series, in Manchester on 1 November 2008, Newton was on top form and dominated the points race. He was the clear winner and won the final sprint to a standing ovation from the crowd. On that night Great Britain won all gold in all 6 events.
