About Curt...

Cyclist Curt Harnett certainly knew how to pedal to the medals. Over the course of his 14 years on a bike at the elite level, he reached the podium numerous times in Olympic, Commonwealth, and Pan-American events. Originally a contender for a spot in the Ontario Hockey League, Harnett cycled only to stay in shape during the off season; however, he soon fell in love with the sport and decisively left the rink in favour of the cycling track in 1982.

Harnett made history when he broke the world record for the 200 m time trial in 1995 in Bogota, Columbia. Averaging at a speed of nearly 73 km/h, he completed the course in an astounding 9.865 seconds, a record that still stands.
