Craig MacLean, GBR

He began training at age 15. (cyclingnews.com, 13 Jun 2021)

"I started playing football, and cycling came about as a surprise to me after I had gotten injured. I decided to ride my bike for fitness, to keep healthy and fit. A coach saw me while I was riding at a velodrome and asked me to join their club, just for fun. After that I fell in love with cycling." (UCI YouTube channel, 21 Jul 2021; cyclingnews.com, 13 Jun 2021)

To win a medal at the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo. (UCI YouTube channel, 21 Jul 2021; teamtto.org, 19 Apr 2021)

Philosophy:

"Nothing is impossible. Once you work hard and put your best foot forward each day, putting that 150% in training, just go out and compete and have some nice clean fun. Just enjoy what you do and keep working hard towards it." (teamtto.org, 19 Apr 2021)

In 2019 he was named Senior Sportsman of the Year by the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee. (teamtto.org, 08 Jan 2020)

TRAINING IN SWITZERLAND
In preparation for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, he trained on the velodrome at the UCI World Cycling Centre [WCC] in Aigle, Switzerland. "My first season at the centre was in 2016 following the junior world championships, and that happened through the identification programme. I was only here training for a few months at that time before going back home. I returned before the world championships to train again the following season, again just for a few months. Now I'm here again, so for me, it's been back and forth. I love it here. It's professional. You eat, sleep and ride, focus fully on training without worrying about anything else outside of your performance. I couldn't have gotten this kind of support back home in Trinidad and Tobago because we don't have a national programme or coaches. This was the best option for me." (cyclingnews.com, 13 Jun 2021)
