Conor Leahy (cycling) tasted double medal success on his Commonwealth Games debut in Birmingham, claiming bronze in both the team and individual pursuit.

After teaming up with Josua Duffy, Graeme Frislie, Lucas Plapp and James Moriarty to defeat Wales in the bronze-medal ride off, the West Australian went into the individual event as one of the favourites having twice broken Jack Bobridge’s 11-year-old Australian record at the national championships earlier in the year.

Leahy’s extended his reign of dominance to five titles in a row in the elite men’s individual pursuit at the national championships in 2024 and he remains the only Australian in history to record a sub 4:10 time for the event.

Leahy hails from Rockingham in Perth and attended Mandurah Catholic College. He joined the Peel District Cycling Club in 2014.
