Two-time Olympic champion Harrie Lavreysen and finishing machines specialist Q-Fin have entered into a 2-year partnership.
I am looking forward to my collaboration with Global Sports Communication and to discover all the opportunities within track cycling together.
Harrie Lavreysen began his cycling journey at a young age, starting with BMX at six and quickly excelling to win three European junior titles. His early career was marked by significant success in BMX, where his talent for out-pacing competitors was evident. However, repeated injuries and four surgeries led to a necessary career change. During his rehabilitation at Papendal, track cycling coaches recognized his potential, prompting him to shift disciplines. While studying Physics, Lavreysen pursued his passion for cycling, traveling globally to compete and hone his skills, setting the stage for his remarkable track cycling career.
Lavreysen made his international track cycling debut at the 2016 European Track Cycling Championships. By 2017, he achieved his first World Championship medals, earning two silvers in the sprint and team sprint events at the UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Hong Kong. The following year, at the 2018 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Apeldoorn, Lavreysen secured his first world title in the team sprint, alongside Nils van ‘t Hoenderdaal and Jeffrey Hoogland, marking a significant milestone in Dutch track cycling history. This success was followed by a European Championship gold in Glasgow the same year.
His career accelerated with individual achievements, including his first individual Sprint World Championship title in 2019 in Pruszków. The year 2020 saw him achieve a hat trick at the World Championships in Berlin, winning gold in the sprint, keirin, and team sprint events. He also became the most successful Dutch track cyclist in World Championship history, surpassing previous records. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (held in 2021), Lavreysen earned two Olympic gold medals in the team sprint and individual sprint, and a bronze in the keirin. He continued his dominance at subsequent World Championships and European Championships, consistently securing multiple gold medals and setting new records, including three more Olympic gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics in sprint, team sprint, and keirin.
