Career

Mitchell has had a successful career in track sprinting after specialising in the 'standing lap' role of first position in the team sprint. A former junior World Champion, Mitchell burst on to the senior scene as a starter at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, winning a silver medal.[1]

At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he competed in the men's team sprint for the national team.[2] That year, he also won a bronze in the men's team sprint at the World Championships, with Sam Webster and Eddie Dawkins.[1] In 2013, the same team won silver at the World Championships.[1]

In 2014, Mitchell, Webster and Dawkins finally won World Championship gold in the men's team sprint.[1] At the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Mitchell won a gold medal in the Men's team sprint and set a Games record with his teammates.[3]

At the 2016 Rio Olympics, he won a silver medal alongside Sam Webster and Eddie Dawkins in the team sprint.[4] That year, the team also regained their World title having been relegated[5] from the competition in 2015.[1] Mitchell won a bronze medal at the 2017 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Hong Kong in the sprint event; the first New Zealander to win a world championship medal in an individual event.[6] He, Dawkins and Webster also retained the men's team sprint title.[1]

At the 2018 Commonwealth Games, Mitchell won Gold in the team sprint event alongside Sam Webster and Eddie Dawkins.[7]
