Matt Archibald

Glasgow was the first Commonwealth Games for Matt and a brilliant introduction. He earned gold in the men's team sprint and bronze in the 1km time trial in Glasgow, adding to NZ Cycling's 15-medal haul. 

The former rower switched to cyling in 2008 and has earned the reputation of being a powerhouse rider among his teammates. Matt's previous results include a 1st in the team sprint at the 2013 Oceania Championships in Invercargill, 2nd overall in the sprint events at the Oceania Championship in Adelaide in 2013 and 6th in the sprint event at the 2014 World Cup in Mexico.
