An Olympic designer at the heart of British success

Stuart Burgess

Stuart Burgess has helped to design bikes for the British Olympic Cycling Team for the last ten years. He was brought up in a non-Christian home, but came to faith over 30 years ago during his first year at university.

In an interview with en, Stuart spoke about his experiences of working with the Olympic Cycling Team, and Christians in sport in general. Stuart has worked with Team GB for ten years. When asked what it is like to work in that environment, he said: ‘My involvement has been to lead the design of the chain transmission drive for three Olympics: Rio, Tokyo, and Paris.

‘It’s very exciting building up to each Olympics – there is the pressure of getting the technology ready in time, but then the excitement of seeing it perform in Olympic races. To see the bikes we worked on win gold medals and break world records is quite a special feeling!
