PROFILE Born in stories of the year in 2002 . A BMX rider who has won just about everything from the World Championships downwards, he decided at the end of 2001 that he wanted to win an Olympic medal. As BMX is not an Olympic sport, he turned his attention to Track sprinting events. He qualified for the GB Cycling Team at the first attempt and has since produced some stunning performances. A natural competitor, he revels in the combative nature of the Sprint and the Keirin , though his stand-out rides so far have been in the Olympic Sprint and The Kilo. At the Commonwealth Games , he was a member of the silver medal winning England Team Sprint Trio , an impressive semi-finalist in the sprint (during which he broke the national 200m record) and the winner of a bronze in the Kilo, behind GB team-mates Chris Hoy and Jason Queally . However, he surpassed all expectations when he helped GB to win a gold medal in the Team Sprint at the 2002 world Track Championships in Copenhagen , less than a year after taking up track racing. In 2003 he continued to progress, recording two personal best times in the Kilo and a win in the Mexico World cup in the discipline. Olympics BMX Jamie Staff was one of the many imports competing in the in 2001 ), (winning the World BMX title in 1996 ) until 2001 when he decided to concentrate on track cycling.
